 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.

Hammer Safety Warnings

 Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
 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.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
 When transporting and storing, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Danger of injury
when accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility compa-
ny for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plas-
tic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are
used (e.g., drills with cylindrical shank). For these tools, a
keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are required.
 Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools: Check the latching by
pulling the tool.
 Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.

 Dusts 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.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-
ble for the material.
– 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. Dusts can
easily ignite.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
 Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
 If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
 When switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
torque reaction can occur.
 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.
 Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
 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
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
 Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage list-
ed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using oth-
er batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or
other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property
damage through exploding batteries.
 The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
in the battery charger before using your power tool for
the first time.
 Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
 Check the tight seating of the battery. Two locking lev-
els are possible.
