used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
 If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
 Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury with-
in a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the pow-
er tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool re-
paired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Bosch Power Tools
 Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping sur-
faces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Mitre Saws
 Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like prod-
ucts, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels
for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs,
etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
 Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possi-
ble. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must al-
ways keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side
of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that
are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If
your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an
increased risk of injury from blade contact.
 The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held
against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the
workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at
high speeds, causing injury.
 Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the
saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the
saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without
cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and
push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull
stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the
workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards
the operator.
 Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting
either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the
workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to
the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa
is very dangerous.
 Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer
than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to re-
move wood scraps, or for any other reason while the
blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade
to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously
injured.
 Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the work-
piece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside
bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that
there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table
along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can
twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw
blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign ob-
jects in the workpiece.
 Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small de-
