Bosch Power Tools
Safety Warnings for Metal Cutting Saws
The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 18 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
Never stand on the power tool.
Serious injuries can occur
when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently com-
ing into contact with the saw blade.
Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it
can move freely.
Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
Use the power tool only for dry cutting.
Water penetrat-
ing into a power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
Never remove cutting remainders, metal chips, etc.
from the cutting area while the machine is running.
Al-
ways guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first
and then switch the machine off.
Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when
the machine is switched on.
Otherwise there is damage
of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
Keep the mains cable away from rotating application
tools.
The mains cable can be cut through or get caught.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Operate the power tool only when the workpiece to be
machined is the only thing on the work area. The area
must be clear of any adjusting tools, metal swarf, etc.
Small pieces of metal or other objects that come into con-
tact with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator
with high speed.
Keep the floor free of metal swarf and material rem-
nants.
You could slip or trip.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not saw
workpieces that are too small to clamp.
Otherwise, the
clearance of your hand to the rotating saw blade is too
small.
Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use.
Otherwise, the machine can be sub-
ject to overload.
If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the ma-
chine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the
workpiece may not be moved until after the machine
has come to a complete stop.
Correct the cause for the
jamming of the saw blade before restarting the machine.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce nar-
row kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back.
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (di-
amond versus round) of arbor holes.
Saw blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades.
Such saw
blades can easily break.
Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled.
The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable re-
paired only through an authorised customer service
agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from
being operated by untrained persons.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself.
This power
tool produces laser class 1M laser radiation according to
EN 60825-1. Looking or viewing directly into the laser
beam – especially with optical instruments such as binoc-
ulars etc. – can damage the eye.
Do not replace the installed laser with another laser
type.
A laser that does not fit to this power tool could pose
dangers for other persons.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop.
Cutting tools that are still running can cause in-
juries.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working.
Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Products sold in GB only
: Your product is fitted with an
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-
et elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only
: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
