Intended Use - Bosch Indego S 500 Manual Original

In case of damage and improper use of the battery
u
pack, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
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.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a risk of explo-
u
sion.
Use only Bosch battery packs intended specifically for
u
the machine. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
u
ing battery. Inserting the battery pack into machines that
have the switch on can cause accidents.
Only open the battery compartment when the battery is
u
exhausted. Leave the battery in the machine for storage
in winter. The built-in battery is very long-lasting; do not
open the battery compartment until you notice a signific-
ant reduction in the run time between two battery char-
ging procedures.
The Indego will operate between 5 °C and 45 °C. If the
u
battery temperature is outside this range, the Indego will
display a message and will not leave the docking station.
If operating, the Indego will return to the docking station
or stay in place.
Recharge only in the Bosch approved docking station.

Safety Warnings for Docking Station and Power
Supply
Only use the original Bosch docking station and power
u
cord to charge the mower. Otherwise there is danger of
fire and explosion.
Check the docking station, power supply unit, cables
u
and plugs periodically. If damage or ageing is detec-
ted, isolate from the docking station or power supply
and do not use them. Never open the docking station
or power supply yourself. Have repairs performed
only by a qualified Bosch technician and only using
original spare parts. A damaged docking station, power
supply, cable or plug increases the risk of an electric
shock.
Do not operate the docking station and power supply
u
on easily flammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles,
etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the docking station
Bosch Power Tools
and power supply during the charging process can pose a
fire hazard.
Supervise children at all times. This will ensure that
u
children do not play with the docking station, power sup-
ply or the machine.
The voltage indicated on the power supply must corres-
u
pond to the voltage of the power source.
We recommend that the power supply is only connected
u
into a socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that
would be actuated by a 30 mA residual current. Check
your Residual Current Device (RCD) at regular intervals.
The supply cord must be inspected for signs of damage at
u
regular intervals.
In the event of flooding of the docking station turn off
u
power supply at mains and contact Bosch Service Centre.
Never touch the mains plug or any other plugs with wet
u
hands.
Do not run over, crush or pull the cables. Protect the
u
cables from heat, oil and sharp edges.
The power supply is double insulated for safety and requires
no earth connection. The operating voltage is 230 V AC,
50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V, 240 V as applicable).
Contact your Bosch Service Centre for details.
If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or the nearest
Bosch Service Centre.
