Battery/Charger

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

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

Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as listed in the catalog or this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Bosch approved chargers with your product. See Functional Description and Specifications.

Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Replace damaged cord or plugs immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.

Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into charger. Battery short or fire may result.

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 +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.

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.

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 will result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

Battery Care

!WARNING When batteries are not in tool or charger, keep them
