ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 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 auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
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.
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-
ed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using 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
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
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.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using
it.
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.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure 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.
During the driving-in procedure, the LED indicator dis-
plays the currently effective torque – see figure 5,
page 71.
The power tool switches off automatically as soon as
the set torque is reached. The LED indicator flashes 3 x.
After releasing the On/Off switch, the LED indicator in-
dicates the last effective torque. For serial screwdriv-
ing applications, set the torque slide to this value.
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 not with-
in the operating temperature range of –30 to +65°C,
and/or when the overload protection has responded.
Symbols
The following symbols are important for reading and under-
standing the operating instructions. Please take note of the
symbols and their meaning. The correct interpretation of the
symbols will help you to use the machine in a better and safer
manner.
LED Capacity
Continuous lighting 3 x green ≥ 75%
Continuous lighting 2 x green 50—75%
Continuous lighting 1 x green 26—50%
Slow flashing 1 x green ≤ 25%
