Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Sliding Mitre Saws
 Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
 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.
 Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use. Otherwise, the machine can be sub-
ject to overload.
 Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not saw
workpieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise, the
clearance of your hand to the rotating saw blade is too
small.
 Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
 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.
 Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable
repaired 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.
 Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
 Never operate the machine without the insert plate.
Replace a defective insert plate. Without flawless insert
plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
 Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
 Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it
can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
 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.
 Keep the floor free of wood chips and material remain-
ders. You could slip or trip.
Bosch Power Tools
 Do not replace the installed laser or LED with another
type. Lasers or LEDs which are not suitable for this power
tool could pose dangers to persons. Repair or replacement
must be performed by an authorised after-sales service
centre in order to prevent safety risks.
 Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc.
from the sawing area while the machine is running.
Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first
and then switch the machine off.
 Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
 If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the
machine 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.
 Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause
injuries.
 Keep hands away from the cutting area while the
machine is running. Danger of injury when coming in
contact with the saw blade.
 Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when
the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
 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.
 Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
 The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 39 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
 Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself. This power
tool produces laser class 1M laser radiation according to
EN 60825-1. Looking or viewing directly into the laser
beam – especially with optical instruments such as
binoculars etc. – can damage the eye.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberate-
ly close your eyes and immediately turn your head
away from the beam.
 Do not use any optical instruments such as binoculars
to view the radiation source. Doing so can damage your
eye.
