Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high re-
action torque that can cause kickback. The
tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may run into hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
On/Off switch is in the off position before in-
serting battery pack. Carrying the power tool
with your finger on the On/Off switch or in-
serting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the power tool against heat, e. g.,
also against continuous sun irradiation
and fire. There is danger of explosion.
Bosch Power Tools
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide for
fresh air and seek medical help in case of
complaints. The vapours can irritate the respi-
ratory system.
When the battery is defective, liquid can es-
cape and come into contact with adjacent
components. Check any parts concerned.
Clean such parts or replace them, if required.
Battery Charger
Keep the battery charger away from rain
or moisture. Penetration of water in the
battery charger increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery
charger is suitable only for charging Bosch
lithium ion batteries within the listed voltage
range. Otherwise there is danger of fire and
explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamina-
tion can lead to danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger,
cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not
use the battery charger. Never open the bat-
tery charger yourself. Have repairs per-
formed only by a qualified technician and on-
ly using original spare parts. Damaged
battery chargers, cables and plugs increase
the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily
inflammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles,
etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the bat-
tery charger during the charging process can
pose a fire hazard.
