Bosch Power Tools 2 609 007 281 | (26.6.13)
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a 
risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, 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 together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery 
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool servicedby aqualifiedrepair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills and Screw-
driver
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when 
performing an operation where the cutting accessory 
or fastener may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accesso-
ry and fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give 
the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines 
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead 
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to 
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age.
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss 
of control can cause personal injury.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool in-
sert jams. Be prepared for high reaction 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 the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque 
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
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 explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek 
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch 
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery 
against dangerous overload.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage list-
edon thenameplate of your power tool. Whenusing oth-
er batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or 
other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property 
damage through exploding batteries.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
Dustsfrommaterialssuch aslead-containingcoatings,
somewoodtypes, mineralsandmetalcan be harmfulto
one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing 
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
–Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
–It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the 
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can 
easily ignite.
Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, 
tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and stor-
age, set the rotational direction switch to the centre 
position.Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can 
lead to injuries.
Thebatteryis suppliedpartially charged.Toensure full
battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the 
battery charger before using for the first time.
Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
Apply the power tool to the screw only when it is 
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
Adjust the gear switch only when the machine is at a 
complete stop.
If the gear switch cannot be pushed to the stop, turn 
the drill chuck a little.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature con-
trol which allows charging only within a temperature 
range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery ser-
vice life is achieved in this manner.
When the On/Off switch is pressed halfway or com-
pletely, the battery charge-control indicator indicates 
the charge condition of the battery for several sec-
onds. It consists of 3 green LEDs.
The 3 LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator 
flash rapidly when the battery temperature is notwith-
in the operating temperature range of –30 to +65°C, 
and/or when the overload protection has responded.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using 
it.
