Original instructions

Safety instructions

Read all the safety and general instructions. Failure to observe the safety and general instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Store these instructions in a safe place.
Only use the charger if you can fully evaluate all functions and carry them out without restrictions, or if you have received corresponding instructions.

This charger is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge. This charger can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the charger and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.
Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance. This will ensure that children do not play with the charger.
Only charge Bosch Li-Ion batteries with a capacity of 1.5 Ah or more ( 4 battery cells or more). The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Do not charge any non-rechargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.

Do not expose the charger to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
Always check the charger, cable and plug before use. Stop using the charger if you discover any damage. Do not open the charger yourself, and have it repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited surface (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a flammable environment. There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up during operation.
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.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may also be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
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 irritation or burns.

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.

Technical Data

Operation

Start-up

Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger. Chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Charging process
The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug for the charger is inserted into the mains socket and the battery (1) is inserted into the charging slot (2).
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully charged when it is stored in the charger.

Note: The charging process is only possible when the temperature of the battery is within the permitted charging temperature range, see section “Technical data”.

What the display elements mean

Flashing battery charge indicator (3)
The charging process is indicated by the flashing of the battery charge indicator (3).

Solid light on battery charge indicator (3)
A solid light on the battery charge indicator (3) signals that the battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within the permitted charging temperature range, and can therefore not be charged. The battery is charged as soon as the allowable charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, a solid light on the battery charge indicator (3) signals that the mains plug is inserted in the plug socket and that the charger is ready for operation.

Errors – causes and corrective measures

Practical advice

A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced. When the charger is used continuously, or for several consecutive charge cycles without interruption, the charger may heat up. This is, however, harmless and does not indicate that the charger has a technical defect.
