Rechargeable battery

Bosch

sells some cordless power tools without a re-

chargeable battery. You can tell whether a rechargeable bat-
tery is included with the power tool by looking at the pack-
aging.

Charging the battery

Use only the chargers listed in the technical data.

Only

these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of
your power tool.

Note:

Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are supplied par-

tially charged according to international transport regula-
tions. To ensure full rechargeable battery capacity, fully
charge the rechargeable battery before using your tool for
the first time.

Inserting the Battery

Push the charged battery into the battery holder until it
clicks into place.

Removing the Battery

To remove the rechargeable battery, press the battery re-
lease button and pull the battery out.

Do not use force to do

this.

The rechargeable battery has two locking levels to prevent
the battery from falling out if the battery release button is
pressed unintentionally. The rechargeable battery is held in
place by a spring when fitted in the power tool.

Battery charge indicator

The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the
state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only
possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is
not in operation.
Press the button for the battery charge indicator or

show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat-
tery is removed.
If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery
charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be
replaced.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Fitting

Fitting Protective Equipment

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage.

There is risk of injury

from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Note:

If the grinding disc breaks during operation or the

holding fixtures on the protective guard/power tool become
damaged, the power tool must be sent to the after-sales ser-
vice immediately; see the "After-Sales Service and Applica-
tion Service" section for addresses.
