polarized plug has two blades with one

wider than the other. A grounding type

plug has two blades and a third

grounding prong. The wide blade or the

third prong are provided for your safety.

If the provided plug does not fit into

your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being

walked on or pinched particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the unit. Do

not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

to carry the unit or pull the plug from an

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Replace

damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electric shock

and may create a fire.

11. Use only attachments/accessories

specified by the manufacturer.

12. Unplug this unit during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods.

Service

NO USER

S E R V I C E A B L E

PARTS INSIDE. Preventive

maintenance performed by un au -

thorized personnel may result in

misplacing of internal wires and

components which could cause serious

hazard. We recom mend that all tool

service be performed by a Bosch

Factory Service Center or Authorized

Bosch Service Station. SERVICE MEN:

Disconnect unit from power source

before servicing.

Service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified

personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions

in the Maintenance section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow Maintenance

Instructions may create a risk of shock

or injury.

Batteries

Be alert for battery packs that are

nearing their end of life. If you notice

decreased tool performance or

significantly shorter running time

between charges then it is time to

replace the battery pack. Failure to do

so can cause the tool to operate

improperly or damage the charger.

Cleaning

To avoid accidents,

always disconnect

the unit from the power supply before

cleaning.

Certain cleaning

agents and solvents

damage plastic parts. Some of these

are: gasoline, car bon tetrachloride,

chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia

and household detergents that contain

ammonia.

Do not leave the unit exposed to direct

sunlight for long periods of time, it may

deform or discolor the cabinet and may

also cause malfunctioning.

Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Remove

stubborn dirt using a damp cloth that

was dipped in soapy water, then wipe

dry.

If you intend to use a chemical cleaning

cloth, read it’s instruction first.

Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.

Maintenance

Extension Cords

If an extension cord

is necessary, a cord

with adequate size conductors that is

capable of carrying the current

necessary for your tool must be used.

This will prevent excessive voltage drop,

loss of power or overheating. Grounded

tools must use 3-wire extension cords

that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number,

the higher the cord capacity.
