Electrical Safety: Use with original Bosch Professional 18V batteries and chargers only (Professional 18V System). Do not use damaged batteries or chargers.
Kickback Hazard: Maintain a firm grip and proper stance. Ensure the bit is securely tightened in the chuck before use. Do not apply excessive pressure.
Dust Hazard: Drilling generates dust. Use appropriate respiratory protection and ensure adequate ventilation.
Maintenance: Remove battery before changing bits or performing maintenance. Allow the tool to cool before storing.
Training requirement: No specialised training required. Basic instruction on correct usage and safety procedures is recommended.
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.

Gasoline Hedge Trimmer
A gasoline hedge trimmer is a handheld gardening tool powered by a gasoline engine, designed for trimming and shaping hedges, bushes, and shrubs. It consists of a cutting blade or blades, typically reciprocating, attached to a long shaft with a handle or grip for ease of use. The gasoline engine provides the necessary power to drive the blades, offering mobility and independence from electrical outlets, making it suitable for use in outdoor settings where access to electricity may be limited. Gasoline hedge trimmers are valued for their versatility, allowing users to manicure and maintain landscaping with efficiency and precision.
Glue Gun
A glue gun, specifically a 40-watt glue gun, is a handheld tool designed for dispensing hot melt adhesive in a controlled and precise manner. It typically consists of a heating element powered by a 40-watt electrical system, a trigger mechanism to control the adhesive flow, and a nozzle for directing the melted glue. The glue stick, usually made of thermoplastic materials, is inserted into the gun, melted by the heating element, and then extruded through the nozzle as a liquid adhesive. This versatile tool is commonly used in various DIY projects, crafts, and home repairs due to its quick and efficient bonding capabilities. The 40-watt power rating indicates the electrical power consumed by the glue gun to heat the adhesive to its melting point.
