 Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
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
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece be-
ing thrown.
 If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and dis-
connect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed mate-
rial. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
 After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw
head down and wait for the blade to stop before remov-
ing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the
coasting blade is dangerous.
 The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 2 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
 If the text of the warning label is not in your national lan-
guage, stick the provided warning label in your national
language over it before operating for the first time.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not stare into the di-
rect or reflected laser beam yourself, not
even from a distance. You could blind
somebody, cause accidents or damage
your eyes.
 If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberate-
ly close your eyes and immediately turn your head
away from the beam.
 Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
 Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
 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 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 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.
 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.
Bosch Power Tools
 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 (dia-
mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentri-
cally, 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.
 Keep the floor free of wood chips and material remain-
ders. You could slip or trip.
 Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
 Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause in-
juries.
 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.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
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.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
