Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
 Before any work on the garden product itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during trans-
port and storage, remove the battery from the garden
product. There is danger of injury when unintentionally ac-
tuating the On/Off switch.
 Use only Bosch battery packs intended specifically for
the machine. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
 Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into machines
that have the switch on can cause accidents.
 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.
 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er 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 oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritations or burns.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
 Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack.
 If the battery becomes defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if
required.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
product. This measure alone protects the battery against
dangerous overload.
 Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage list-
ed on the nameplate of your product. When using other
batteries, e. g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or other
brands, there is danger of injury as well as property dam-
age through exploding batteries.
 Protect the battery against moisture and water.
 Store the battery only within a temperature range between
0 °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.
