Battery/Charger Rules
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery
pack, and (3) product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied your product
or direct replacement as listed in the catalog or this
manual.
Do not disassemble radio unit or operate the radio unit if
it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Replace damaged cord or plugs
immediately.
Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in
electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do
not expose radio unit to rain or snow. If battery case is
cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger.
Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Bosch approved rechargeable batteries. See
Functional Description and Specifications. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above +40 degrees
F (4 degrees C) and below +105 degrees F (41 degrees
C). Store radio unit 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, then with lemon juice or
vinegar. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place radio unit 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.
When batteries are not in tool or
charger, keep them away from metal
objects.
For example, to protect terminals from shorting DO
NOT
place batteries in a tool box or pocket with nails,
screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may result.
To prevent fire or injury when batteries
are not in tool or charger, always place
protective cap onto end of battery pack.
Protective cap,
guards against terminal shorting.
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR EXPOSE TO
HIGH HEAT.
They may explode.
Battery Care
Battery Disposal
Do not attempt to disassemble the
battery or remove any component
projecting from the battery terminals.
Fire or injury may
result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with
heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.
Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
If equipped with a nickel-cadmium battery, the battery must
be collected, recycled or disposed of in an environmentally
sound manner.
“The EPA certified RBRC Battery Recycling
Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery
indicates Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is
voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle these batteries
at the end of their useful life, when taken out
of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC
program provides a convenient alterative to placing used Ni-
Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream,
which may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd
battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area,
or return your batteries to a Skil/Bosch/Dremel Service
Center for recycling. Robert Bosch Tool Corporation’s
involvement in this program is part of our commitment to
preserving our environment and conserving our natural
resources.”
Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
If equipped with a nickel-metal hydride battery, the battery
can be disposed of in a municipal solid waste stream.
