Warning! When using electric tools, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the
following.
Read all these instructions before attempting to operate
this product and slove these instructions.
1. Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment
Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don’t use
power tools in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. Guard against electric shock
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modi-
fy the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Original plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surface (e. g. pipes, ra-
diators, refrigerators).
4. Keep children and visitors away
Do not let children contact tool or extension cable. All visi-
tors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, secure
place, out of the reach of children.
6. Don’t force tool
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
7. Use the right tool
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy duty tool. Don’t use tools for purposes not intended; for
example, don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses
Also use face or dust mask if drillings operation is dusty.
The wearing of ear protection is recomended when noise
exceeds 85 dB.
10. Don’t abuse the supply cable
Never carry tool by cable or yank it to disconnect it from
socket. Keep cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
11. Secure work
Use clamps or a vise hold work. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
12. Don’t overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. Maintain tools with care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect the tool cable periodically and, if
damaged, have it repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if dam-
aged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
14. Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when changing ac-
cessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Check if adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from
the tool before turning it on.
16. Avoid unintentional starting
Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on swiich. Be sure
the switche is off when plugging in.
17. Outdoor use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords in-
tended for outdoor use.

Stay
alert
Watch what you are doing and use common sense when
handling an electric power tool. Do not use an electric
power tool when you are tired or under the influence of al-
cohol or medicine.
A moment of carelessness while oper-
ating an electric power tool may result in serious injury.
19. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicat-
ed elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.
20. Warning!
The use of any other accessory or attachment other than
recommended in this operating instruction or the Bosch
