To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Fitting
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Battery Charging
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure
full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger
before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
u
power tool has automatically switched off. The battery
can be damaged.
The following table shows examples of application tools. You can find additional application tools in Bosch's extensive range of
accessories.

To remove the battery (3), press the battery release button
(2) and pull the battery to the rear and out of the power tool.
Do not use force to do this.
Battery charge indicator
The three green LEDs on the battery charge indicator (6) in-
dicate the state of charge of the battery (3). The battery
charge indicator only lights up for five seconds after start-
up.
LED
Continuous lighting 3x green
Continuous lighting 2x green
Continuous lighting 1x green
Flashing light 1x green
Flashing light 3x green
If no LED lights up after switching the power tool on, then
the battery is defective and must be replaced.

Selecting an application tool
Please observe the application tools intended for your power
tool.
Application tool
Material
Softwood, soft plastics,
gypsum, thin-walled alu-
minium and non-ferrous
metal profiles, thin metal
sheets, non-hardened
nails and bolts
Softwood
Composite materials
made from wood and soft
non-ferrous metals, un-
hardened nails and
screws, pipes made from
non-ferrous metal and
Wear protective gloves when changing tools. There is
a risk of injury when touching the application tools.
Application
Smaller separation and plunge cuts; delicate adjustment
work in wood;
Example: Cutting recess for cable, plunge cuts in gypsum
boards, resawing recesses for locks and fittings
Splinter-free separation and plunge saw cuts thanks to
round sawing edge (Curved-Tec); also for sawing close to
the edge, in corners and difficult-to-access areas;
Example: Plunge cut for the installation of a ventilation
grille or recess for plug sockets
Tear-free flush cuts and plunge cuts in wood, soft non-fer-
rous metals and plastic thanks to round sawing edge
(Curved-Tec);
Example: Recess for plug sockets and pipes, flush cuts
through unhardened nails and screws
