WARNING
stances, e.g. beech or oak wood
dust, rock dust or asbestos. These substances are con-
sidered carcinogenic. Make sure you inform yourself about
the applicable regulations/laws on how to handle harmful
types of dust in your country.
Only use the vacuum cleaner if you have been ad-
u
equately informed about how to use it. Thorough in-
struction on how to use the equipment prevents acci-
dental misuse and injuries.
The vacuum cleaner is only suit-
WARNING
able for vacuuming dry sub-
stances. The penetration of liquids increases the risk of an
electric shock.

u
stored indoors. The penetration of rain or moisture into
the top of the vacuum cleaner increases the risk of elec-

The vacuum cleaner should be repaired exclusively by
u
a qualified professional using only genuine spare

cleaner is maintained.
Bosch Power Tools
Before using the equipment for the first time, check
u
that the vacuum hose is in perfect condition. Leave
the vacuum hose fitted to the vacuum cleaner while
doing this so that no dust escapes accidentally. Other-
wise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.
Do not clean the vacuum cleaner by spraying a jet of
u
water directly at it. Water entering the top of the va-
cuum cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
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.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flam-
u
mable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact
with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accident-
ally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes
into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical
attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause ir-
ritation or burns.
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.
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from pa-
u
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could make a connection from one
terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire.
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.
Only charge the batteries using chargers recommen-
u
ded by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a
different battery.
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.
Do not vacuum hot or burning dust or in potentially ex-
u
plosive areas. Dust can easily ignite or explode.
