Safety Definitions
Follow all DANGER, WARNING, andIMPORTANT
messages. These safety messages are defined as
follows:
DANGER or WARNING: Risk of bodily harm
and/or possible loss of life.
IMPORTANT: The information demands special
attention or risks damage to the vehicle or tool.
The safety messages cover situations of
which Bosch Automotive Service Solutions is
aware. Bosch Automotive Service Solutions
cannot know, evaluate, or advise as to all of
the possible hazards. You must be certain
that any conditions or service procedures
encountered do not jeopardize personal
safety.
Safety Precautions
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 serious personal injury or loss of life.
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) approved eye shield when
testing or repairing vehicles.
Objects propelled by whirling engine
components or pressurized liquids escaping
may cause personal injury.
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the
software at the same time.
Maintain adequate clearance around moving
components or belts during testing.
Moving components and belts can catch
loose clothing, body parts, or test equipment
and cause serious damage or personal injury.
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid
and produce explosive gases that can result
in serious injury 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 serviced. Adhere to all diagnostic
procedures and precautions 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
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates and radiates radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.

When heated to excessive temperatures,
battery cells could explode or vent, posing a
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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
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 paper clips) could short-circuit
the battery terminals. The resulting excessive
current flow can cause extremely high
temperatures and may result in damage to
the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
The battery poses a burn hazard if you
handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it.
Handle a damaged or leaking battery with
extreme care. If the battery is damaged,
electrolyte may leak from the cells and may
cause personal injury.
