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 (3 battery cells or more). The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the char-

ger. Do not charge any non-re-chargeable batteries. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.

Do not expose the charger to rain or wet condi-

tions. 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.
▶ Do not cover the ventilation slots of the charger. Otherwise, the charger may overheat and no long function properly.
▶ 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.

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.

What the display elements mean

Flashing green battery charge level indicator (3)

The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by flashing of the green battery charge level indicator (3). The battery can be removed at any time and used.

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

Continuously illuminated green battery charge level indicator (3)

Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator (3) indicates that the battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within the permitted charging temperat-

ure range, and cannot be charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon as the permitted charging temperature range is reached.

When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator (3) indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation.

Wall mounting

The charger can be used either free-standing (for use on a desktop) or mounted on the wall.

When affixing to the wall: Drill two holes, leaving a clearance as specified in the image.

To secure it, use round-head screws with a diameter of 5 mm to max. 6.5 mm.

Errors – Causes and Corrective Measures

Cause Corrective measures

Battery charge indicator (3) stays lit

Charging not possible

Battery temperature is out of charging range

Please wait until the permitted temperature range is reached

6 | English

Cause Corrective measures

The battery is not connected (correctly)	Connect battery to charger correctly
Battery contacts are dirty Clean the battery contacts; e.g. by connecting and disconnecting the battery several times. Replace battery if necessary

Battery defective Replace the battery

Battery charge indicator (3) does not light up
Mains plug of the charger is not (correctly) plugged in	Insert the mains plug (fully) into the plug socket
Plug socket, mains cable or charger defective	Check the mains voltage, have the charger checked if necessary by an authorised after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools

Practical advice

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.

A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and cleaning

In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch power tools.
