Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
 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.
 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 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.
 Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger is
suitable only for charging Bosch lithium ion batteries with-
in 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.
