Recommendations for Optimal Han-
dling 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 in-
creases 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. Oth-
erwise there is danger of fire and ex-
plosion.
 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 per-
formed only by a qualified techni-
cian and only using original spare
parts. Damaged battery chargers,
cables and plugs increase the risk of
an electric shock.
