Only carry out work with a fitted chip deflector. Make
u
sure that the chip deflector is not damaged or bent out
of shape. Working without a chip deflector or with a dam-
aged chip deflector poses a risk of injury. Have a dam-
aged chip deflector replaced immediately by an author-
ised after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
Wear protective gloves during work. Make sure that
u
cut sheet parts are not bent towards your body. Sharp
burrs develop on cut sheets; these can cause injury.
When necessary and while wearing gloves, press bending
sheet parts away from your body.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.

Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841‑2‑8.
Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power
tool is 71 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB. The noise level when
working can exceed the volume stated. Wear hearing pro-
tection!

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
