Noise Information

Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841-3-9.
Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is:
Sound pressure level 92 dB(A); sound power level
102 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
The noise emission value given in these instructions has
been measured in accordance with a standardised measur-
ing procedure and may be used to compare power tools. It
may also be used for a preliminary estimation of noise emis-
sions.
The noise emission value given represents the main applica-
tions of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used
for other applications, with different application tools or is
poorly maintained, the noise emission value may differ. This
may significantly increase noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate noise emissions accurately, the times when the
tool is switched off, or when it is running but not actually be-
ing used, should also be taken into account. This may signi-
ficantly reduce noise emissions over the total working
period.

Rechargeable battery

Bosch sells some cordless power tools without a re-
chargeable battery. You can tell whether a rechargeable bat-
tery is included with the power tool by looking at the pack-
aging.
Charging the battery
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.

Inserting the Battery

Push the charged battery into the battery holder until it
clicks into place.

Removing the Battery
To remove the rechargeable battery, press the battery re-
lease button and pull the battery out. Do not use force to do
this.
The rechargeable battery has two locking levels to prevent
the battery from falling out if the battery release button is
pressed unintentionally. The rechargeable battery is held in
place by a spring when fitted in the power tool.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or
show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
