Safety instructions for metal shears
u
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
u
Only carry out work with a fitted chip deflector. Make
sure that the chip deflector is not damaged or bent out
of shape.
Working without a chip deflector or with a dam-
aged chip deflector poses a risk of injury. Have a dam-
aged chip deflector replaced immediately by an author-
ised after-sales service centre for
Bosch
power tools.
u
Wear protective gloves during work. Make sure that
cut sheet parts are not bent towards your body.
Sharp
burrs develop on cut sheets; these can cause injury.
When necessary and while wearing gloves, press bending
sheet parts away from your body.
u
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical

vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
u
Do not open the battery.
There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing.
u
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
u
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
turer.
This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
