Bosch Power Tools
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback when
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Pay attention that the base plate 7 rests securely on
the material while sawing.
A jammed saw blade can
break or lead to kickback.
When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kick-
back and can place down the machine securely.
Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect con-
dition.
Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ-
ence the cut, or lead to kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility compa-
ny for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
Do not open the battery.
Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and
moisture.
Danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints.
The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool.
This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
The battery pack can be damaged by pointed objects
such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied exter-
nally.
An internal short circuit can occur and the battery
pack can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
