Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
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.

Hammer Safety Warnings

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
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.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
When transporting and storing, set the rotational di-
rection switch to the centre position. Danger of injury
when accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility compa-
ny for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
For drilling without impact in wood, metal, ceramic and plas-
tic as well as for screwdriving, tools without SDS-plus are
used (e.g., drills with cylindrical shank). For these tools, a
keyless chuck or a key type drill chuck are required.
Inserting SDS-plus Drilling Tools: Check the latching by
pulling the tool.
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.

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.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-
ble for the material.
– 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.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Apply the power tool to the screw/nut only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
When switching on with a blocked drilling tool, high
torque reaction can occur.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery
in the battery charger before using your power tool for
the first time.
Read the operating instructions of the battery charger.
Check the tight seating of the battery. Two locking lev-
els are possible.
