Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent
blade can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and
allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool
can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow
at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which
generate dust.
Secure material before cutting. Never hold
it in your hand or across legs. Small or thin
material may flex or vibrate with the blade,
causing loss of control.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade holder are tight before making a cut.
Loose adjusting screws and holders can cause
the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may
result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the blade
or accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
