Recommendations for Optimal
Handling of the Battery
Ensure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into ma-
chines that have the switch on can
cause accidents.
Use only Bosch battery packs in-
tended specifically for the ma-
chine. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
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 explo-
sion.
When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal ob-
jects 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 to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
