are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are

Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
when transporting and storing, always set
the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Otherwise danger of injury is given
when unintentionally actuating the On/Off
switch.
Convince yourself before using that the battery
is securely seated in the machine.
Do not strain the machine so heavily that it
comes to a standstill.
GSB 18 VE-2/GSB 24 VE-2/GSR 18 VE-2/
GSR 24 VE-2: Operate the machine only with
the auxiliary handle 9.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage.
Hold the machine tightly: When driving in
screws, high reaction moments can briefly oc-
cur.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.
Battery and Battery Charger
The enclosed operating instructions for the
battery charger must be read carefully!
Do not open the battery, and protect it from im-
pact. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
Allow a heated battery to cool before charging.
Protect the battery from heat and fire: Danger
of explosion! Do not place the battery on radi-
ators or expose to strong sun rays for a longer
time; temperatures over 50 °C cause damage.
Do not dispose of the battery in household
waste or discard into fire or water.
