Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save these instructions. This vacuum cleaner is not intend- ed for use by children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of expe- rience and knowledge. Otherwise, there is a danger of operating errors and injuries. Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the vac- uum cleaner. Do not vacuum materials that are harm- ful to one’s health, e. g. dust from beech or oak wood, masonry dust, asbestos. These materials are considered carcinogenic. Inform yourself about the valid regulations/laws for your country concerning the handling of materials that are haz- ardous to one’s health. Use the vacuum cleaner only after hav- ing received sufficient information on its usage. A thorough introduction reduces operating errors and injuries. The vacuum cleaner is suitable only for vacuuming dry materials. The penetra- tion of liquids increases the risk of an electric shock. The vacuum cleaner may only be used and stored indoors. The pene- tration of rain or moisture into the vacuum cleaner lid increas- es the risk of an electric shock. Do not vacuum hot or burning dusts, and in rooms with an explosion hazard. Dusts can ignite or explode. Remove the battery before cleaning or performing maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making tool ad- justments, changing accessories or storing the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally. Provide for good ventilation at the working place. Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only through quali- fied specialists and only using original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of your vacuum cleaner is main- tained. Before restarting, check the proper condition of the vacuum hose. When doing this, leave the vacuum hose mounted to the vacuum cleaner to prevent dust from coming out. Otherwise, you could possibly inhale dust. Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting. Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and mois- ture. Danger of explosion. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth- er 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 oc- curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition- ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns. In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va- pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri- tate the respiratory system. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu- facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat- tery pack. Use the battery only together with your Bosch product. This is the only way to protect the battery against danger- ous overload. The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat. Symbols The following symbols could have a meaning for the use of your vacuum cleaner. Please take note of the symbols and their meaning. The correct interpretation of the symbols will help you to use the vacuum cleaner in a better and safer manner.

A complete overview of accessories can be found in our accessories program. Technical Data Assembly Battery Charging Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith- ium-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 battery must be removed from the vacuum cleaner to charge it. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re- ducing 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. Following the automatic shut-off of the vacuum clean- er, do not continue to press the On/Off button. The bat- tery can be damaged. The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control which allows charging only within a temperature range of be- tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved in this manner. A significantly reduced working period after charging indi- cates that the battery is used and must be replaced. Observe the notes for disposal. Battery Insertion/Removal (see figures A1 – A2) Do not use force to insert the battery. The battery is de- signed in such a way that it can only be inserted into the vacuum cleaner when it is in the right position. – Slide the battery pack 5 all the way into the battery port

– To remove the battery 5, press the unlocking button 13 on the battery and pull it out of the battery bay 12. Cordless dry vacuum cleaner GAS 18V-1 Article number 3 601 JC6 2.. Container volume (gross) l0.7 Vacuum, max.
