 Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills and
Screwdrivers
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accesso-
ry and fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
 Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
 Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool in-
sert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque that
can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
 Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
 Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance,
tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and stor-
age, set the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture. Danger of explosion.
Bosch Power Tools
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
product. This measure alone protects the battery against
dangerous overload.
 The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as
nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An
internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
 The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using for the first time.
 Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
 Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
 Adjust the gear switch only when the machine is at a
complete stop.
 If the gear switch cannot be pushed to the stop, turn
the drill chuck a little.
 When the On/Off switch is pressed halfway or com-
pletely, the battery charge-control indicator indicates
the charge condition of the battery for several sec-
onds. It consists of 3 green LEDs.
LED
Continuous lighting 3 x green
Continuous lighting 2 x green
Continuous lighting 1 x green
Slow flashing 1 x green
 The 3 LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
flash rapidly when the battery temperature is not with-
in the operating temperature range of –30 to +65 °C,
and/or when the overload protection has responded.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
