Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the en-
closed booklet must be ob-
served. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demon-
stration.
■ Wear protective glasses and hearing protec-
tion.
■ For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
■ Before each use, check the machine and bat-
tery. If damage is detected, do not use the ma-
chine. Have repairs performed only by a qual-
ified technician. Never open the machine your-
self.
■ Use power tools only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa-
ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
■ Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
when transporting and storing, always set
the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Otherwise danger of injury is given
when unintentionally actuating the On/Off
switch.
■ Ensure the switch is in the off position be-
fore inserting battery pack. Inserting the bat-
tery pack into power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
■ Convince yourself before using that the battery
is securely seated in the machine.
■ Do not strain the machine so heavily that it
comes to a standstill.
■ When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
■ Use the machine only with the auxiliary han-
dle 11.
■ Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may run into
hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the op-
erator.
■ Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage.
■ Be careful when screwing in long screws; dan-
ger of sliding off.
■ Set the machine against the screw/nut only
when switched off.
■ When screwdriving, operate in first gear as
well as with a low speed.
■ Always switch the machine off and wait until it
has come to a standstill before placing it down.
■ Never allow children to use the machine.
■ Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.
Battery and Battery Charger
■ The enclosed operating instructions for the
battery charger must be read carefully!
■ Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suita-
ble for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■ Allow a heated battery to cool before charging.
■ Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger
of explosion! Do not place the battery on radi-
ators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer
time; temperatures over 50 °C cause damage.
■ Do not open the battery, and protect it from im-
pact. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
■ When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
■ Do not dispose of the battery in household
waste or discard into fire or water.
