longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider
than the power tool table can tip if not securely suppor-
ted. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the
lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
u
extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the
workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning blade.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by
u
any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined,
i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
u
support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods
have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade
to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
u
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece be-
ing thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
u
power tool off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed
material. Continued cutting with a jammed workpiece
could cause loss of control or damage to the power tool.
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
u
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut
u
or when releasing the switch before the saw head is
completely in the down position. The braking action of
the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
Never remove cuttings etc. from the cutting area
u
while the power tool is running. Always guide the tool
arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the
power tool off.
Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
u
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
Keep your work area clean. Material mixtures are partic-
u
ularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or ex-
plode.
Do not use saw blades made from high speed steel
u
(HSS). Such saw blades can easily break.
Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable
u
repaired only by an authorised customer service
agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
u
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.

Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-
u
mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-
centre, causing loss of control.
Make sure that the guard works properly and that it
u
can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
Keep the floor free of metal swarf and material rem-
u
nants. You could slip or trip.
Operate the power tool only when the work area up to
u
the workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, metal
swarf, etc. Small pieces of metal or other objects that
come into contact with the rotating saw blade can strike
the operator with high speed.
Never leave the tool unattended before it has come to
u
a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can
cause injuries.
Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when
u
the saw is switched on. Otherwise there is a risk of kick-
back occurring if the saw blade catches in the workpiece.
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries may oc-
u
cur if the power tool tips over or if you inadvertently come
into contact with the saw blade.
Only use the power tool for dry cutting. Water entering
u
a power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
u
able.
The power tool is delivered with a warning sign (see
u
table: "Symbols and their meaning").
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not look directly into the
laser beam or at its reflection. Doing so
could lead to blindless, or could cause acci-
dents or damage to the eyes.
If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your
u
eyes and immediately turn your head away from the
beam.
Do not use any optical instruments such as binoculars
u
to view the radiation source. Doing so can damage your
eye.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons who are look-
u
ing through binoculars or similar instruments. Doing
so can damage their eye.
