Vibrational values (vector sum of three directions) determined according to EN 62841-4-1:2020.
– Vibration emission value a
h
– Uncertainty K
The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise
emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for comparing one
machine with another.
The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise
emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assess-
ment of exposure.
The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the
machine can differ from the declared total value depending
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
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 to show
the state of charge. This is also possible when the battery 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.
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.
