eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses. They are NOT
safety glasses
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE. When not in
use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters,
etc.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE. In working order, and in proper
adjustment and alignment.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. When not in
use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters,
etc.
• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is
in the "OFF" position before plugging in tool.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL OR ITS STAND. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near the
tool such that it is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand
to reach them.

operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly replaced.
• All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be attempted
only by trained repairmen. Contact the nearest Bosch Service
Center, Authorized Bosch Service Station or other competent
repair service.
• THE USE OF ANY OTHER ACCESSORIES NOT
SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL MAY CREATE A HAZARD.
Accessories that may be suitable for one type of tool, may
become hazardous when used on an inappropriate tool.
Tool Use
• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't used tool
for purpose not intended--for example, don't use a circular
saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter
against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power
off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table on page 4
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
number. The smaller the gauge, the heavier the cord.
Tool Care
• DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL. These tools are
precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is
misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.
• AVOID GASEOUS AREAS. Do not operate electric tools in
a gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools
normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
• Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in
doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
