	Charger Safety Rules

1.This manual contains instructions for battery charger model BC330 & BC430. Do not substitute any other charger.

2.Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on

(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery.

3.Charge only Bosch rechargeable batteries listed on page 5 & 6. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

4.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 will not exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.

5.Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. Water entering battery charger may result in electric shock or fire.

6.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. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.

7.Place charger on flat nonflammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when recharging battery pack.

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 charger or battery pack is observed, unplug the charger immediately and do not use the battery pack or charger. Contact customer service immediately.

8.Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

Damaged plug and cord may result in electric shock or fire.

9.Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug rather than the cord. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug; have them replaced immediately. Damaged plug or cord may result in electric shock or fire.

10.Do not insert battery pack in charger if battery pack case is cracked. Using damaged battery pack may result in electric shock or fire.

11.Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in anyway. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.

12.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, take it to a Bosch Factory Service Center, or qualified serviceman only using original spare parts. Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.

13.Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by Bosch. Using attachments not recommended may result in electric shock or fire.

14.Do not store battery pack in charger.

Battery pack stored in charger over a long period of time could lead to battery pack damage and fire.

15.Unplug charger from outlet before storage, attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

16.Keep the battery charger clean by blowing compressed air on charger vents and wiping the charger housing with a damp cloth. Contamination may result in electric shock or fire.

17.Replace battery pack if a substantial drop in operating time per charge is observed. Battery pack may be nearing the end of its life.

Important Charging Notes

1.The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger will not fast charge the battery. (This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy use). When the battery temperature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the charger will automatically begin charging.

2.A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.

3.Remember to unplug charger during storage period.

4.If battery does not charge properly:

a.Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device.

b.Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned off.

c.Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.

d.If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Bosch Service Center. See “Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses.

Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Bosch will void the warranty.

Charger Indicators, symbols and meaning (model BC330)

If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is not receiving power from power supply outlet.

If the green indicator light is “BLINKING”, the battery pack is being fast-charged. Fastcharging will automatically stop when the

battery pack is fully charged.

If the green indicator light is

"ON", the charger is plugged in but the battery pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged,

or the battery pack is too hot or cold for fastcharging. The charger will automatically switch to fast-charging once a suitable temperature is reached.

Charging Battery Pack (model BC330)

Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then insert battery pack into charger (Fig. 1).

The charger’s green indicator light will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged.

When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete.

The battery pack may be used even though the light may still be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking depending on temperature. When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady green light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.

The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was not completely discharged.

When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool.

Charger Indicators, symbols and meaning (model BC430)

If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is not receiving power from power supply outlet.

If the green indicator light is

“ON”, the charger is plugged in but the battery pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged

and is being trickle charged.

If the green indicator light is

“BLINKING”, the battery pack is being fast-charged. Fastcharging will automatically stop when the

battery pack is fully charged.

If the red indicator light is “ON”,

the battery pack is too hot or cold for fast-charging. The charger will switch to trickle charge, until a suitable

temperature is reached, at which time the charger will switch automatically to fast-charging.

If the red indicator light is

“BLINKING”, the battery pack cannot accept a charge or the contacts of the charger or battery pack are

contaminated. Clean the contacts of the charger or battery pack only as directed in these operating instructions or those supplied with your tool or battery pack.

Charging Battery Pack (model BC430)

Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then insert battery pack into charger (Fig. 2).

When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a steady green light) fast charging is complete.

The battery pack may be used even though the light may still be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking depending on temperature. When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady red light could also mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.

When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another

battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool.
