Bosch Power Tools
f
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
f
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
f
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application.
The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
f
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
f
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
f
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
f
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
f
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts.
This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hammer Safety Warnings
f
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
f
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
f
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator 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.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
f
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate
of the machine.
f
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age.
f
Firmly tighten the auxiliary handle, hold the machine
firmly with both hands while working and keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
The machine is securely
guided with both hands.
f
Select the correct operating mode and the suitable ap-
plication tool for the material to be worked.
f
Insert the SDS-max application tool:
Check the latching
by pulling the tool.
f
Replace a damaged dust protection cap immediately.
The dust protection cap largely prevents the penetration of
drilling dust into the tool holder during operation. When in-
serting the tool, pay attention that the dust protection cap
is not damaged.
f
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer.
Materials containing as-
bestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-
ble for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
f
If the application tool should become blocked, switch
the machine off. Loosen the application tool.
f
Before switching on the power tool, make sure that the
application tool moves freely.
When switching on with a
blocked drilling tool, high torque reaction can occur.
f
When not using the power tool, switch it off in order to
save energy.
