Dust/Chip Extraction; Starting Operation - Bosch 3 601 F4J 0 Serie Manual Original

The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The Lithium-Ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery
The battery 9 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button 8 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 9, press the battery unlocking button 8
and pull the battery out of the power tool toward the rear. Do
not exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication (see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
12 indicate the charge condition of the battery 9. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button 11 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 9 is removed.
LED

When no LED lights up after pushing button 11, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
Replacing/Inserting the Saw Blade
 Before any work on the power tool, remove the battery.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
 When changing the saw blade, take care that the saw
blade holder is free of material residue, e. g. wood or
metal shavings.
Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material being worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
beginning of these instructions. Use only ½" universal shank
saw blades. The saw blade should not be longer than required
for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.
