Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the
power source must agree with the voltage specified on
the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To
start
the machine, push the On/Off switch
1
forwards.
To
lock
the On/Off switch
1
, additionally push down the front
of the switch.
To
switch off
the machine, release the On/Off switch
1
. When
the On/Off switch is locked, press on the rear of the switch
and then release it.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Working Advice
The power tool is not suitable for stationary operation.
For example, it may not be clamped in a vice or fastened on
a workbench.
Only work with the chip deflector 2 mounted. Take care
that the chip deflector is not damaged or bent.
Danger
of injury when working without the chip deflector or when
it is damaged. Have a damaged chip deflector replaced im-
mediately by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power
tools.
Wear protective gloves while working and pay particu-
lar attention to the mains cable. Take care that cut
sheet parts do not bend toward your body or the mains
cable.
Sharp burrs develop at the cut steel sheet and can
cause injuries to the operator or damage the mains cable.
If required, press bending steel sheet parts away from your
body or the mains cable using gloves.
Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched on.
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to the surface of
the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of
the saw blade and can cause damage to the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat-
erally and work with low feed rate only.
Maximum Steel Sheet Cutting Capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
max
depends on
the strength properties of the material to be cut.
The machine allows for cutting of metal sheet to the following
