•
This tool is not suitable for stationary
operation.
Do not clamp in a vice or fastened
on a workbench.
•
Do not use tool without the hand guard
mounted. Take care that the hand guard
is not damaged or bent.
Injury could occur
when working without or using a damaged
hand guard. Have a damaged hand guard
replaced immediately by an authorized Bosch
Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch
Service Station.
•
Wear protective gloves while working.
Take care that cut sheet parts do not bend
toward your body.
Sharp burrs develop from
the cut steel sheet and can cause injuries to
the operator. If required, press bending steel
sheet parts away from your body using
gloves.
Before cutting, lightly oil the cutting line.
Hold the tool at a angle 80° to 90° to the
surface of the workpiece and do not tilt it to the
side. (Fig. 2).
Your tool should be running at full speed
before starting the cut, and turned off only
after completing the cut.
Guide the tool evenly with light feed pressure
in the direction cut. Excessive feed pressure
reduce the performance considerably and
shorten the life of the cutters and can cause
damage to the tool.
When cutting curves, do not tilt the tool
laterally and work with a light feed pressure.
Sharp cutters produce good cutting results and
protects the tool.
Do not load the tool so heavily that it stalls.
