cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

uStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

uMaintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

uUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

uKeep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

uRecharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-

tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

uUse power tools only with specifically designated bat-

tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

uWhen 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.

uUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-

tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-

tery may cause irritation or burns.

uDo not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk

of injury.

uDo not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-

ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above

130°C may cause explosion.

uFollow all charging instructions and do not charge the

battery pack or tool outside the temperature range

specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specified range may damage

the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

uHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

uNever service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-

tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer

or authorized service providers.

Safety instructions for metal shears

uThis power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.

It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-

bench, for example.

uOnly carry out work with a fitted chip deflector. Make

sure that the chip deflector is not damaged or bent out

of shape. Working without a chip deflector or with a dam-

aged chip deflector poses a risk of injury. Have a dam-

aged chip deflector replaced immediately by an author-

ised after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

uWear protective gloves during work. Make sure that

cut sheet parts are not bent towards your body. Sharp

burrs develop on cut sheets; these can cause injury.

When necessary and while wearing gloves, press bending

sheet parts away from your body.

uIn case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-

pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-

plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical

attention should you experience any adverse effects. The

vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

uDo not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-

ing.

uThe battery can be damaged by pointed objects such

as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.

An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to

burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

uOnly use the battery with products from the manufac-

turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the

battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against

continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water

and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and

short-circuiting.
