Bosch 22612 User Manual

Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downward. 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 (Fig. 1).

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 chargers or battery packs not
sold by Bosch will void the warranty.
