Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sand-
ing drum for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged acces-
sory. After inspecting and installing an ac-
cessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating acces-
sory and run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged acces-
sories will normally break apart during this
test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles gener-
ated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken ac-
cessory may fly away and cause injury be-
yond immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Always hold the tool firmly during the start-
up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it ac-
celerates to full speed, can cause the tool to
twist.
Bosch Power Tools
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the tool in the other hand
while in use. Clamping a small workpiece al-
lows you to use both hands to control the
tool. Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while
being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or
jump toward you.
Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-
cessory. If you lose control of the power tool,
the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
After changing the bits or making any adjust-
ments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can un-
expectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flamma-
ble materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-
terials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush
or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accesso-
ry which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction op-
posite of the accessory's rotation at the
point of the binding.
