Safety Warnings for Table Saws
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can occur
when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently com-
ing into contact with the saw blade.
Take care that the blade guard operates properly and
can move freely. Always adjust the blade guard in such a
manner that it faces loosely against the workpiece when
sawing. Never clamp the blade guard when it is open.
Never reach behind the saw blade in order to hold the
workpiece, remove saw dust/wood chips or for any oth-
er reason. The clearance of your hand to the rotating saw
blade is too small.
Guide the workpiece against the saw blade only when
the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is damage
of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Operate the power tool only when the work area to the
workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, wood chips,
etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects that come in
contact with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator
with high speed.
Only saw one workpiece at a time. Workpieces placed on
top or aside of each other can cause the saw blade to jam
or the workpieces to move against each other while saw-
ing.
Always use the parallel guide or the angle guide. This
improves the cutting accuracy and reduces the possibility
of saw blade binding.
Use the machine for grooving or rebating only with an
appropriately suitable protective device (e. g. a tunnel
blade guard).
Do not use the machine for cutting slots (stopped
grooves).
Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use. Otherwise, the machine can be sub-
ject to overload.
If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the ma-
chine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the
workpiece may not be moved until after the machine
has come to a complete stop. Correct the cause for the
jamming of the saw blade before restarting the machine.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce nar-
row kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back.
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (dia-
mond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.

Never operate the machine without the insert plate.
Replace a defective insert plate. Without flawless insert
plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable re-
paired only through 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.
Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from
being operated by untrained persons.
Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause in-
juries.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an 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 author-
ised 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 sock-
et elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
