1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear safety goggles when operating the tool. Use hearing protection and heavy-duty gloves when working on impact tasks. Use respiratory protection when working in dusty environments.
Electrical Safety: Use with original Bosch Professional batteries and chargers only (Professional 18V System). Also compatible with AMPShare batteries.
Kickback and Injury Hazard: Maintain a firm grip and proper stance. Ensure the bit is securely inserted before use. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that could become entangled. Keep hands away from the rotating bit.
Maintenance: Unplug the battery before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.
Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct usage, bit selection, and safety procedures.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Injury (debris): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Cut Injury: Apply direct pressure to stop bleeding. Clean wound with clean water. Cover with sterile dressing. Seek medical attention if bleeding is profuse or the wound is deep.
Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation of Dust: Move a person to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: The tool casing may burn if exposed to fire. Lithium-ion batteries can leak or rupture if exposed to high temperatures.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires involving tools.
Fire Response: In event of fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers; water may be used for general fires but not for electrical fires where live equipment is involved.
