Safety Precautions - Bosch ADS 625X Quick Start Manual

Safety Precautions

BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL, ALL OPERATORS SHOULD
READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS QUICK START GUIDE AND
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT
YOUR BOSCH REPRESENTATIVE OR DISTRIBUTOR.
DANGER
When an engine is operating, keep the service area well
ventilated or attach a building exhaust removal system
to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce carbon
monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower
reaction time and can lead to death or serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
• When working with hydraulic or fuel lines, be careful
that liquids under pressure do not escape and create a
dangerous condition. Use adequate ventilation and make
sure there are no sparks or possibility of sparks that
may ignite any vapor.
• Wear an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Z87.1 approved eye shield when testing or repairing
vehicles.
• Objects propelled by whirling engine components or
pressurized liquids escaping may cause personal injury.
• Set the parking brake and block the wheels before test-
ing or repairing a vehicle. It is especially important to
block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles because
the parking brake does not hold the drive wheels.
• Do not drive the vehicle and operate the software at the
same time.
• Maintain adequate clearance around moving compo-
nents or belts during testing.
• Moving components and belts can catch loose cloth-
ing, body parts, or test equipment and cause serious
personal injury or tool damage.
• Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce
explosive gases that can result in serious injury due to
ignition of gases. Keep lit cigarettes, sparks, flames,
and other ignition sources away from the battery at all
times.
• Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being ser-
viced. Adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precau-
tions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
otherwise unneeded repairs.
• Use only specially designed replacement parts (brake
hoses and lines) for ABS equipped vehicles.
• After bleeding the brake system, check the brake pedal
for excessive travel or a "spongy" feel. Bleed again if
either condition is present.
• When installing transmitting devices (Citizen Band
radio, telephone, etc) on ABS-equipped vehicles, do
not locate the antenna near the ABS control unit or any
other control unit.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions.

• To reduce risk of injury, charge only Bosch Automotive
Service Solutions, Inc. supplied charging block and
power cord.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in fire, electric
shock, or personal injury.
• Do not operate the tool with a damaged cord or con-
nector. Replace damaged cords and connectors immedi-
ately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take the charger to a qualified service person.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take the charger to a
qualified service person if service or repair is necessary.
Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.
Unplug charger before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
• To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid using the
tool at high volume levels for long periods.
• Do not expose tool or charger to rain, moisture, or
snow.
• Verify that cords are located where they will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise become a safety
hazard or subjected to damage or stress.
• Use only batteries that are approved for use with this
tool. Use of other types may increase the risk of fire or
explosion.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other
container where metal objects (such as car keys or pa-
per clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The
resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage to the bat-
tery pack or cause fire or burns.
• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it im-
properly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or
leaking battery with extreme care. If the battery is dam-
aged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause
personal injury.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Do not store or leave your tool or battery near a heat
source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric
heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise
expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF).
When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells
could explode or vent, causing personal injury or risk of
fire.
• Do not dispose of your tool's battery in a fire or with
normal household waste. Battery cells may explode.
Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer's
instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency
for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent or damaged
battery promptly.
CAUTION:
• To avoid damage or generation of false data, make sure
the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection
to the vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC) is clean and
secure.
• Do not place the tool on the distributor of a vehicle.
Strong electromagnetic interference can damage the
tool.
• Never disconnect or reconnect any electrical connec-
tor while the ignition is on. Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) damage may result.
