Charge only Bosch lithium-ion bat-
u
teries with a capacity above 1.5 Ah

cells). The battery voltage must
match the battery charging voltage
of the charger. Do not charge non-re-
chargeable batteries. Otherwise
there is a danger of fire and explo-
sion.
Keep the battery charger
away from rain or moisture.
Penetration of water in the battery
charger increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses
u
a risk of electric shock.
Always check the charger, cable
u
and plug before use. Stop using
the charger if you discover any
damage. Do not open the charger
yourself, and have it repaired only
by a qualified specialist using only
original replacement parts. Dam-
aged chargers, cables and plugs in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the charger on an
u
easily ignited surface (e.g. paper,
textiles, etc.) or in a flammable en-
vironment. There is a risk of fire due
to the charger heating up during op-
