batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in
temperatures above +32
degrees F (0 degrees C) and
below +113 degrees F (45
degrees C). Store tool and
battery pack in locations where
temperatures will not exceed
120 degrees F (49 degrees C).
This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery
cells.
Battery leakage may occur
under extreme usage or
temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The
battery liquid is caustic and could
cause chemical burns to tissues. If
liquid comes in contact with skin,
wash quickly with soap and water.
If the liquid contacts your eyes,
flush them with water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
Place charger on flat non-
flammable surfaces and away
from flammable materials when
re-charging battery pack. The
charger and battery pack heat
during charging. Carpeting and
other heat insulating surfaces
block proper air circulation which
may cause overheating of the
charger and battery pack. If smoke
or melting of the case are
observed unplug the charger
immediately and do not use the
battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not
recommended or sold by Bosch
may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to
persons.
