Before using battery
charger,
read
all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3)
product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied
your product or direct replacement as
listed in the catalog or this manual.
Do not
substitute any other charger. Use only Bosch
approved chargers with your product. See
Functional Description and Specifications.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the
charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Replace damaged cord or plugs
immediately.
Incorrect reassembly or damage
may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to rain
or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger.
Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Bosch approved rechargeable
batteries.
See Functional Description and
Specifications. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above
+32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below
+113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store tool
and battery pack in locations where
temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F
(49 degrees C).
This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery cells.

Make certain all adjusting screws (knobs)
and the blade clamp are tight before
making a cut.
Loose adjusting screws and
clamps can cause the tool or blade to slip and
loss of control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the blade
or accessory.
Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply.
While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
