 Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you are quali-
fied to do so.
 Ensure replacement parts fitted are Bosch approved.
Recommendations for Optimal
Handling of the Battery
 Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into machines
that have the switch on can cause accidents.
 Use only Bosch battery packs intended specifically for
the machine. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
 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, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate 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.
 Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of explo-
sion.
 Protect the battery against moisture and water.
 Store the battery only within a temperature range between
–20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery
in the car in summer.
 Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
soft, clean and dry brush.
