Safety Notes

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions, including the information on the bottom side of the radio charger. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “radio charger” used in the safety notes, refers to mains-powered radio chargers (with mains cable) and to battery-operated radio chargers (without mains cable).

  • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

  • The plug of the radio charger must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) radio chargers. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

  • Do not misuse the cord to carry the radio charger, hang it up, or for pulling the plug out of the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

  • When operating the radio charger outdoors, only use extension cords suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

  • When operating the radio charger in damp environments is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). The use of a residual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of electric shock.

  • Connect the radio charger to a mains supply that is properly connected to earth. Socket and extension cord must have an operative protective conductor.

  • Completely unwind the mains cable when operating the radio charger via mains supply. Otherwise the mains cable can heat up.

  • Take care that the mains plug can be pulled at any time. The mains plug is the only possibility to disconnect the radio charger from the mains supply.

  • Protect the radio charger from rain and moisture. The penetration of water into the radio charger increases the risk of an electric shock.

  • Do not charge the batteries of other manufacturers. The battery charger is suitable only for charging Bosch lithium ion batteries with the voltages listed in the technical data. Otherwise there is danger of fire and explosion.

  • Keep the radio charger clean. Contamination may result in danger of electric shock.

  • Check the radio charger, cord and plug each time before using. Do not use the radio charger when defects are detected. Do not open the radio charger yourself and have it repaired only by qualified personnel using original spare parts. Damaged radio chargers, cords and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

  • Do not operate the radio charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in inflammable environments. Fire hazard due to occurring heat build-up of the radio charger during charging.

  • 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 complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.

  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the radio charger.

  • Children or persons with mental or physical limitations may only use the radio charger under supervision or after having been instructed. A thorough introduction reduces operating errors and injuries.

  • Do not open the battery. Danger of shortcircuiting.
    Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.

  • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.

  • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

  • Only use the battery in conjunction with your radio charger and/or a Bosch power tool. This is the only way to protect the battery against dangerous overload.

  • Use only original Bosch Professional 14.4 V and 18 V lithium ion batteries. When using other batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property damage through exploding batteries.

  • Read and strictly observe the safety warnings and working instructions in the operating instructions of the tools that you connect to the radio charger.

  • 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 authorised 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 elsewhere.
