Battery Charge Indicator - Bosch GAS 18V-10 L Professional Notice D'utilisation D'origine

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the Electronic Cell Protection (ECP). A protective circuit
switches the cordless dust extractor off when the battery is
drained.
Do not continue to press the on/off button after the
u
dust extractor has automatically switched itself off.
This can damage the battery.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Battery charge indicator

After the dust extractor is switched on, the five green LEDs
of the battery charge indicator (4) will light up individually
one after another in ascending and descending order. Then
the LEDS will indicate the charge state of the battery (20).
Inserting and removing the battery (see figures
A1-A2)
Do not use force to insert the battery. The battery is de-
u
signed in such a way that it can only be inserted into the
dust extractor when it is in the right position.
Keep the battery compartment and the battery bay clean
u
and dry at all times to ensure good, safe operation.
– Press the release button (11) to open the battery com-
partment cover (12).
– Slide the battery (20) into the battery bay (19) until it
audibly clicks into place.
– To remove the battery (20), press the release button
(21) on the battery and pull it out of the battery bay (19).
– Close the battery compartment cover (12).
Fitting the brackets for extractor accessories
(see figure B)
– Slide the bracket (22) for the suction tube and crevice
nozzle firmly into the adapter provided for it (10) from
above until it clicks into place.
– Slide the bracket (23) for the vacuum hose and floor
nozzle firmly into the adapter provided for it (7) from
above and tighten the fixing bolts (24).
Fitting the vacuum hose (see figure C)
– Insert the vacuum hose (13) into the hose adapter (8) un-
til both snap fasteners (25) of the vacuum hose click into
place.
Note: The friction generated by the dust in the vacuum hose
and accessory during extraction causes an electrostatic
charge that the user may experience as static discharge (de-
pending on environmental factors and their physiological
state).
Fitting the Vacuuming Accessories
The vacuum hose (13) is equipped with a clip system which
can be used to connect extraction accessories (dust extrac-
tion adapter (14), curved nozzle (15))
Bosch Power Tools
Fitting the extraction adapter or curved nozzle (see

(25) on the vacuum hose click into place.
– To remove the adapter, press the snap fasteners (25) in-
wards and pull apart the components.
Fitting the Nozzles and Tubes
– If required, place the suction tubes (18) firmly inside one
another and then attach them firmly to the curved nozzle

firmly to the suction tube (18) or the curved nozzle (15).
Operation
Remove the battery before cleaning or performing
u
maintenance on the dust extractor, making tool ad-
justments, changing accessories or placing the dust
extractor in storage. This safety measure prevents the
dust extractor from being started accidentally.
Ensure that the work area is clean and tidy to minim-
u
ise the risk of tripping.
Start-up
The dust extractor must not be used without a filter.
u
Before extraction, ensure that the filter unit is se-
u
curely fitted.
Before extraction, ensure that the battery compart-
u
ment cover is securely closed.
Do not use damaged filters (e.g. no cracks, small
u
holes, etc.). Replace any damaged filters immedi-
ately.
Please inform yourself about the applicable regula-
u
tions/laws on how to handle harmful types of dust in
your country.
The dust extractor must categorically not be used in poten-
tially explosive areas.
To ensure optimum suction power, you must always fully un-
wind the vacuum hose (13) from the vacuum hose bracket
(23).
For safety reasons, the dust extractor does not switch on if
the on/off button (3) is held down for longer than five
seconds.
Dry Vacuuming
Vacuuming up Dust Deposits
– To switch on the dust extractor, briefly press the on/off
