Safety Warnings for Drills and Screwdriver
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in
the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Con-
tact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes prop-
erty damage or may cause an electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool insert jams.
Be prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback. The
tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque can briefly
occur while driving in and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices
or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous in-
tense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek medical help in case of com-
plaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch power tool.
This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the voltage listed on the
nameplate of your power tool. When using other batteries, e. g. im-
itations, reconditioned batteries or other brands, there is danger of
injury as well as property damage through exploding batteries.
