Frequently Asked Questions - GAS 10.8V-LI Professional BOSCH

What battery does the Bosch GAS 10.8V-LI use?

It uses a Bosch 10.8V Li-Ion battery (compatible with the 10.8V system, e.g., GBA 10.8V).

Can I use a 12V battery instead of 10.8V?

No, only 10.8V batteries are recommended. Using higher voltage may damage the device.

How do I clean the filter?

Remove the filter and tap it gently. For thorough cleaning, wash with water and let it dry completely before reinstalling.

How often should I empty the dust container?

Empty after each use or when the container is full. Overfilling reduces suction.

What is the warranty period?

Bosch offers a 2-year warranty for professional tools. Check local terms.

Can I buy spare parts?

Assembly

Battery Charging

▶ Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery pack used in your vacuum cleaner.

Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using your power tool for the first time. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

▶ After the automatic shut-off of the vacuum cleaner, do not continue to press the On/Off button. The battery pack could become damaged.

Observe the notes for disposal.
