Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Ensure the switch is in the off po-
sition 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 manufacturer. 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 charg-
er on easily inflammable surfaces
(e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the bat-
tery charger during the charging
process can pose a fire hazard.
Use only Bosch battery packs in-
tended specifically for the machine. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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 connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may 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 continuous intense
sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
There is danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper
use of the battery, vapours may
be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of com-
plaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
Protect the battery against moisture
and water.
Store the battery only within a tem-
perature range between –20 °C
and 50 °C. As an example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
Occasionally clean the venting slots
of the battery using a soft, clean and
dry brush.
