General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the inu-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
160992A8AK GRG18V-3600C 20230616.indd 3160992A8AK GRG18V-3600C 20230616.indd 3 6/16/2023 7:50:08 PM6/16/2023 7:50:08 PM

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of
a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool
before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and con-
trol of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause ir-
ritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modied batteries may exhibit unpre-
dictable behavior resulting in re, explo-
sion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to re or temperature above 265 °F may
cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specied
range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.

Maintenance
Service
NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preven-
tive maintenance performed by unau-
thorized personnel may result in misplac-
ing of internal wires and components
which could cause serious hazard. We
recommend that all tool service be per-
formed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or
Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Batteries
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. If you notice decreased tool
performance or signicantly shorter running
time between charges then it is time to re-
place the battery pack. Failure to do so can
cause the tool to operate improperly or dam-
age the charger.
Replacing the Built-in Coin Cell
The Bluetooth® Low Energy Module is t-
ted with a coin cell. You will be notied via
the Bosch Toolbox app if the coin cell is too
weak or if it is drained. The coin cell replace-
ment must be performed by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre authorised to work
with Bosch power tools.
Caution: The coin cell must always be re-
placed with a coin cell of the same type.
There is a risk of explosion.
Remove and dispose of drained coin cell cor-
rectly. Drained coin cell may leak and dam-
age the product or cause personal injury.
Tool Lubrication
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricat-
ed and is ready for use.
Motors
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service.
To maintain peak efciency of the motor,
we recommend it be examined every six
months. Only a genuine Bosch replace-
ment motor specially designed for your tool
should be used.
Cleaning
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage plas-
tic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, car-
bon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning sol-
vents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed ob-
jects through opening.
Accessory Storage & Maintenance
Store accessories in a cool dry place and
avoid freezing. Before use check accessory
for cracks and fractures, do not use if dam-
age is suspected.

Consignes générales de sécurité du produit
Lisez toutes les consignes de sécurité, instructions, illustrations et spécifications
fournies avec cet outil électrique. Le non-respect de toutes les instructions figurant
ci-après pourrait causer un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou des blessures graves.
CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS POUR RÉFÉRENCE
FUTURE.
Dans les avertissements, le terme « outil électroportatif » se rapporte à votre outil branché sur le secteur (avec fil) ou à
votre outil alimenté par piles (sans fil).
1. Sécurité du lieu de travail
a. Maintenez le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé.
Les risques d’accident sont plus élevés quand on
travaille dans un endroit encombré ou sombre.
b. N’utilisez pas d’outils électroportatifs dans des
atmosphères explosives, comme par exemple en
présence de gaz, de poussières ou de liquides
inflammables. Les outils électroportatifs produisent
des étincelles qui risquent d’enflammer les pous-
sières ou les vapeurs.
c. Éloignez les enfants et les visiteurs quand vous
vous servez d’un outil électroportatif. Vous
risquez une perte de contrôle si on vous distrait.
2. Sécurité électrique
a. Les fiches des outils électroportatifs doivent cor-
respondre à la prise. Il ne faut absolument jamais
modifier la fiche. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur de
prise avec des outils électroportatifs munis d’une
fiche de terre. Le risque de choc électrique est
moindre si on utilise une fiche non modifiée sur une
prise qui lui correspond.
b. Évitez tout contact du corps avec des surfaces
reliées à la terre tels que tuyaux, radiateurs,
gazinières ou réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc
électrique augmente si votre corps est relié à la terre.
c. N’exposez pas les outils électroportatifs à la
pluie ou à l’humidité. Si de l’eau pénètre dans un
outil électroportatif, le risque de choc électrique
augmente.
d. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne vous en servez ja-
mais pour transporter l’outil électroportatif, pour
le tirer ou pour le débrancher. Éloignez le cordon
de la chaleur, des huiles, des arêtes coupantes
ou des pièces mobiles. Les cordons abîmés ou em-
mêlés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.
e. Si vous utilisez un outil électroportatif à
l’extérieur, employez une rallonge conçue pour
l’extérieur. Ces rallonges sont faites pour l’extérieur
et réduisent le risque de choc électrique.
f. S’il est absolument nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil
électroportatif dans un endroit humide, utilisez
une alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur de
fuite de terre (GFCI). L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur
GFCI réduit les risques de choc électrique.
3. Sécurité personnelle
a. Restez concentré, faites attention à ce que vous
faites, et servez-vous de votre bon sens lorsque
vous utilisez un outil électroportatif. N’employez
pas d’outils électroportatifs quand vous êtes
fatigué ou sous l’emprise de drogues, d’alcool
ou de médicaments. Quand on utilise des outils
électroportatifs, il suffit d’un moment d’inattention
pour causer des blessures corporelles graves.
b. Utilisez des équipements de sécurité personnelle.
Portez toujours une protection oculaire. Le port
d’équipements de sécurité tels que des masques
antipoussières, des chaussures de sécurité antidéra-
pantes, des casques de chantier et des protecteurs
d’oreilles dans des conditions appropriées réduira le
risque de blessure corporelle.
c. Évitez les démarrages intempestifs. Assurez-
vous que l’interrupteur est dans la position arrêt
(Off) avant de brancher l’outil dans une prise de
courant et/ou un bloc-piles, de le ramasser ou de
le transporter. Le transport d’un outil électroportatif
avec le doigt sur la gâchette ou le branchement de
cet outil quand l’interrupteur est en position de
marche (ON) est une invite aux accidents.
d. Enlevez toutes les clés de réglage avant de mettre
l’outil électroportatif en marche. Si on laisse une
clé sur une pièce tournante de l’outil électroportatif,
il y a risque de blessure corporelle.
e. Ne vous penchez pas. Conservez toujours une
bonne assise et un bon équilibre. Ceci vous permet-
tra de mieux maîtriser l’outil électroportatif dans des
situations inattendues.
f. Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez
pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux. Attachez
les cheveux longs. N’approchez pas les cheveux,
les vêtements ou les gants des pièces en mouve-
ment. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les
cheveux longs risquent d’être happés par les pièces
en mouvement.
