Charge only Bosch approved rechargeable batteries. See Functional Description and Specifications. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

Charge battery pack in temperatures above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and below +105 degrees F (41 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.

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, then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.

Place charger on flat non-flammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when re-charging battery pack. The charger and battery pack heat during charging. 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 case are observed unplug the charger immediately and do not use the battery pack or charger.

Use of an attachment not recom- mended or sold by Bosch may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
