BM 2610925943 6-05 6/10/05 10:25 AM Page 11 RELEASING AND INSERTING BATTERY PACK Release battery pack from tool by pressing on both sides of the battery release tabs and pull downwards. Before inserting battery pack, remove protective cap from battery pack. To insert battery, align battery and slide battery pack into tool until it locks into position. Do not force. IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES 1. The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maximum capacity with its first few charge cycles. However, after the first few charge cycles, the battery will charge to full capacity. 2. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C). 3. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced. 4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool down until it is fully discharged before storing your battery pack. After a long period of storage, the capacity at first recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three charge/discharge cycles. Remember to unplug charger during storage period. 5. If battery does not charge properly: a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device. b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power "off" when lights are turned off. c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary. d. If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Bosch Service Center. See "Tools, Electric" in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses. Note: Use of charger's or battery packs not sold by Bosch will void the warranty. -11-
