1. This manual contains instructions for
battery charger model 2610A16727. Do not
substitute any other charger.
2. Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings
on battery charger and product using
battery.
3. Charge only Bosch GRL 500 and LR
50. Other types of cordless tools may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
4. Charge tool in temperatures above +32
degrees F (0 degrees C) and below +113
degrees F (45 degrees C). Store tool in
locations where temperatures will not
exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This
is important to prevent serious damage to the
battery cells.
5. Do not recharge tool in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to
rain or snow. Water entering battery charger
may result in electric shock or fire.
6. Battery leakage may occur under
extreme usage or temperature conditions.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The
battery liquid is caustic and could cause
chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in
contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and
water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush
them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes
and seek medical attention.
7. Place charger on flat nonflammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when recharging tool. Carpeting
and other heat insulating surfaces block
proper air circulation which may cause
overheating of the charger and tool. If smoke
or melting of the charger or tool is observed,
unplug the charger immediately and do not
use the tool or charger. Contact customer
service immediately.
8. Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Damaged plug and cord may result in electric
shock or fire.

Charger Safety Rules
9. Disconnect the charger by pulling the
plug rather than the cord. Do not operate
charger with damaged cord or plug; have
them replaced immediately. Damaged plug
or cord may result in electric shock or fire.
10. Do not insert tool in charger if tool
housing is cracked. Using damaged tool
may result in electric shock or fire.
11. Do not disassemble charger or
operate the charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in anyway. Incorrect reassembly
or damage may result in electric shock or fire.
12. Before each use, check the battery
charger, cable and plug. If damage is
detected, do not use the battery charger.
Never open the battery charger yourself,
take it to a Bosch Factory Service Center,
or qualified serviceman only using

may result in electric shock or fire.
13. Do not store tool in charger. Tool
stored in charger over a long period of time
could lead to battery pack damage and fire.
14. Unplug charger from outlet before
storage, attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
15. Keep the battery charger clean by
blowing compressed air on charger vents
and wiping the charger housing with a
damp cloth. Contamination may result in
electric shock or fire.
16. If substantial drop in operating time
per charge is observed the tool battery
may be nearing the end of its life. Take
the tool to a Bosch factory service center or
qualified serviceman to replace battery with
Bosch original spare parts.
