Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and
(3) product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied
your Cordless Rotary Hammer or direct
replacement as listed in the catalog or
this manual. Do not substitute any other
charger. Use only Bosch battery charger
Nos. BC015 & BC016 with your Cordless
Rotary Hammer.
Do not disassemble charger or operate
the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Incorrect reassembly
or damage may result in electric shock or
fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to
rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Bosch Nos. BAT019, BAT020
and BAT021, rechargeable batteries with
the above listed charger. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures
above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and
below +113 degrees F (45 degrees C).
Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures do not go below 32
degrees F (0 degrees C) or will not exceed
120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is
important to prevent serious damage to the
battery cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery
liquid is caustic and could cause chemical
burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact
with skin, wash quickly with soap and water,
then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, flush them with water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on flat non-flammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when re-charging battery pack.
The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat
insulating surfaces block proper air
circulation which may cause overheating of
the charger and battery pack. If smoke or
melting of the case are observed unplug the
charger immediately and do not use the
battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by Bosch may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Battery/Charger
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the
exposure time by taking frequent rest
periods.Vibration caused by hammer-drill
action may be harmful to your hands and
arms.
Never place the tool down until the bit or
accessory have come to a complete stop.
When removing the bit from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit or
accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
