GSB 14,4 VE-2-LI/GSB 18 VE-2-LI
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fastener may con-
tact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and
fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause kick-
back. 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 re-
action torque can briefly occur while driving
in and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
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.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide
for fresh air and seek medical help in case
of complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
Bosch Power Tools
Use the battery only in conjunction with
your Bosch power tool. This measure alone
protects the battery against dangerous over-
load.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your
power tool. When using other batteries, e. g.
imitations, reconditioned batteries or other
brands, there is danger of injury as well as
property damage through exploding batter-
ies.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Dusts from materials such as lead-contain-
ing coatings, some wood types, minerals
and metal can be harmful to one's health
and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer. Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Before any work on the machine (e. g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rota-
tional direction switch to the centre posi-
tion. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off
switch can lead to injuries.
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.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temper-
ature control which allows charging only
within a temperature range of between
0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life
is achieved in this manner.
Read the operating instructions of the bat-
tery charger.
