SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!! Read all safety
warnings and all instruc-
tions.
Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may
result in electric shock, fi re and/
or serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or un-
der the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from the front nose.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
b) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
c) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
d) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
e) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE.
a) Make sure to follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions.
b) Only use the battery types recommended in the
"Technical specifi cation" section below.
c) Do not open the battery.
d) Be careful not to short-circuit batteries.
e) Do not throw batteries into fi re.
f) Do not leave any used batteries in the device.
These can corrode, releasing chemicals that harm
your health and the device.
g) When not in use for a long time, remove the
batteries from the device to prevent them from
leaking.
6) CHARGER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Only use the charger types recommended in the
"Technical specifi cation" section below.
b) Only charge Bosch Li-Ion batteries with a capaci-
ty of 1,5 Ah or more (4 battery cells or more). The
battery voltage must match the battery charging
voltage of the charger. Do not charge any non-re-
chargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of
fi re and explosion.
c) Keep the charger away from dirt and moisture.
d) Always check the charger, cable and plug before
use. Stop using the charger if you discover any
damage. Do not open the charger yourself, and
have it repaired only by a qualifi ed specialist using
