Store these instructions in a safe place.
Only use the charger if you can fully evaluate all functions and
carry them out without restrictions, or if you have received cor-
responding instructions.
This charger is not intended for use by children or per-
u
sons with physical, sensory or mental limitations or a
lack of experience or knowledge. This charger can be
used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who
have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of
experience or knowledge if a person responsible for
their safety supervises them or has instructed them in
the safe operation of the charger and they understand
the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a risk of oper-
ating errors and injuries.
Supervise children during use, cleaning and mainten-
u
ance. This will ensure that children do not play with the

Only charge Bosch Li-ion batteries with a capacity of
u
1.3 Ah or more. The battery voltage must match the bat-
tery charging voltage of the charger. Do not charge any
Bosch Power Tools
Read all the safety and gen-
eral instructions. Failure to
observe the safety and gen-
eral instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or
non-rechargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of
fire and explosion.
Only use the charger in enclosed spaces and do not
expose it to wet conditions. Water entering a charger in-
creases the risk of electric shock.
Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
u
Always check the charge, including the cable and plug,
u
before use. Stop using the charger if you discover any
damage. Do not open the charger yourself, and have it
repaired only by Bosch or by an authorised after-sales
service centre using only original replacement parts.
Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited surface
u
(e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a flammable environ-
ment. There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up
during operation.
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the charger. Other-
u
wise, the charger may overheat and no long function prop-
erly.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
u
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may also be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventil-
ated and seek medical attention should you experience any
adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory
system.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
u
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have
the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock
hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket else-
where.
