Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into machines
that have the switch on can cause accidents.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture.
Penetration of water in the battery charger increases the
risk of an electric shock.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger is
suitable only for charging Bosch lithium ion batteries within the listed voltage range. Otherwise there is danger of fire
and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead
to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and
plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery
charger. Never open the battery charger yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician
and only using original spare parts. Damaged battery
chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric
shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflamma-
ble surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the battery charger during the char g-
ing process can pose a fire hazard.
Use only Bosch battery packs intended specifically for
the machine. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
When battery p ack 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 m ay cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritations or burns.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continu-
ous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger
of explosion.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of explo-
sion.
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.
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature range between
0 ° C and 50 °C. As an example, do not l eave the battery in
the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
soft, clean and dry brush.
