GSR 12 VE-2/GSR 14,4 VE-2/
GSR 18 VE-2/GSB 12 VE-2/
GSB 14,4 VE-2/GSB 18 VE-2:
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fastener may con-
tact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and
fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause kick-
back. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High re-
action torque can briefly occur while driving
in and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
also against continuous sun irradiation
and fire. There is danger of explosion.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your pow-
er tool. When using other batteries, e. g. imi-
tations, reconditioned batteries or other
brands, there is danger of injury as well as
property damage through exploding batteries.
