A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. ![]() When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

If that’s the case, many of the batteries are interchangeable (a recurring theme across our reviews of big brand jobsite radios). ![]() ![]() It’s not really a big issue, as you’re probably going to buy this radio if you’re a fan of Bosch kit and already have their tools. It also suggests that it can run on those as a power source, but we couldn’t see any obvious location for them to go, nor would expect this kind of device to run on such a low power source.
