• Select a suitably sized and shaped object
that will provide adequate hanging stabil-
ity. An unstable hanging surface could re-
sult in the tool unexpectedly falling.
Service
maintenance performed by unauthorized per-
sonnel may result in misplacing of internal
wires and components which could cause se-
rious hazard. We recommend that all tool ser-
vice be performed by a Bosch Factory Service
Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Batteries
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. If you notice decreased tool
performance or significantly shorter running
time between charges then it is time to re-
place the battery pack. Failure to do so can
cause the tool to operate improperly or dam-
age the charger.
Tool Lubrication
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use.
