Before inserting the battery, when changing
tools as well as when transporting and storing,
always place the rotational direction switch in
the middle position!
■
The rated voltage of the battery must agree
with the value on the machine.
■
Before using, make sure the battery fits se-
curely inside the machine.
■
Be careful when screwing in long screws, as
they can slide off.
■
Before any work on the machine itself, remove
the battery.
■
Protect the battery from heat and fire: Explo-
sion risk! Do not place the battery on radiators
or expose it to strong sun rays for a long time
period; temperatures over 50 °C cause dam-
age.
■
Allow heated batteries to cool before charging.
■
Do not open the battery and protect from im-
pact. Store in a dry and frost-free place.
■
During storage, cover the contacts of the re-
moved battery. A short circuit caused by a me-
tallic shorting contact can cause a fire or explo-
sion!
■
Do not quick charge the battery several times
in succession. Do not recharge the battery
again after using it for a short period (e. g.
3 minutes).
■
Bosch can only ensure a flawless functioning
of the machine when the original accessories
are used.
Battery Charging
A new rechargeable battery produces full power
only after approx. 5 charging and discharging cy-
cles. This applies also for batteries that have not
been used for a longer period of time.
The battery
6
is housed in the handle. Release
the battery
6
by pressing the grooved areas
12
on
both sides and pull downwards.
Do not use
force.
Please refer to the enclosed “Battery Charger” in-
structions for the operation of the battery charger
as well as for a description of the charging pro-
cess.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
monitor which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of 0 °C to 45 °C. This will prolong
the useful life of the battery. When used properly,
the battery can be recharged up to
3000 times
.
A substantial drop in the operating time per
charge indicates that the battery is worn out and
must be replaced.
■
Observe the indications regarding environ-
mental protection.
The efficiency of the Bosch NiMH batter-
ies drops significantly below –10 °C.
Grip rear collar and manually rotate front collar
until tight.
The locking is released again when the front col-
lar is turned in the opposite direction to remove
the tool.
Screwdriving
Clamp the screwdriver bit
5
directly in the drill
chuck or use an additional universal bit holder for
screwdriver bits (accessory magazine
8
).
