Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Bent
blade can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and
allow the blade to come to full speed.
Tool
can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow
at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which
generate dust.
Secure material before cutting. Never hold
it in your hand or across legs.
Small or thin
material may flex or vibrate with the blade,
causing loss of control.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade holder are tight before making a cut.
Loose adjusting screws and holders can cause
the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may
result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the blade
or accessory.
Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply.
While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.
When operating the saw
continuously
and
for
prolonged periods of time, the gearbox may
become hot to the touch. To reduce the risk of
injury, wear gloves during saw operation.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
