on the ways in which the machine is used; and of the need to
identify safety measures to protect the operator that are
based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions
of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such
as the times when the machine is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).
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: Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied par-
tially charged according to international transport regula-
tions. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully
charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for
the first time.
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 on the Power Tool
The battery charge indicator on the power tool indicates the
state of charge of the battery or an overload when the power
tool is switched on.
The battery charge indicator on the power tool indicates the
state of charge for a few seconds when the on/off switch is
half or fully pressed.
LED
3 × continuous green light
2 × continuous green light
1 × continuous green light
1 × slowly flashing green light
If the battery charge indicator on the power tool flashes red,
the power tool is overloaded.
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator on the power
tool flash quickly when the temperature of the rechargeable
battery is outside the operating temperature range and/or
the overload protection has been triggered.
Bosch Power Tools
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator on the power
tool and the pressure gauge lighting flash simultaneously
when the temperature of the rechargeable battery is outside
the operating temperature range and/or the overload protec-
tion has been triggered.
Battery Charge Indicator on the Rechargeable
Battery
Note: Not all battery types have a battery charge indicator.
The LEDs on the battery charge indicator on the re-
chargeable battery indicate the state of charge of the bat-
tery. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the char-
ging status when the power tool is at a standstill.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator on the re-
chargeable battery to show the state of charge. This is also
possible when the rechargeable battery is removed.

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.
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 Maintenance
Use the following procedures to enable optimum usage of
the battery:
– Protect the battery against moisture and water.
– Store the machine and battery only within a temperature
range between –20 °C and 50 °C . As an example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
– The battery must not be stored within the product but
stored separately.
State of charge
– Do not leave the battery in the product in direct sunlight.
≈ 75–100 %
– The ideal storage condition for the battery is 5 °C.
≈ 40–75 %
– Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a
soft, clean and dry brush.
≈ 15–40 %
A significantly reduced working period after charging indic-
≈ 0–15 %
ates that the battery is used and must be replaced.
