enSafety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all 
instructions. Failure to follow 
the warnings and instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future 
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to 
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or 
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area cl ean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive  atmospheres, such as in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust.  Power 
tools create sparks which may ignite the 
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children an d bystanders away 
while operating a power tool.  Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not 
use any adapter plugs with earthed 
(grounded) power tools.  Unmodified 
plugs and matching outlets will reduce 
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or  grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators.  There is 
an increased risk of electric shock if your 
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet  conditions. Water entering a power tool 
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the  cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging 
the power tool. Keep cord away from 
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. 
Damaged or entangled cords increase the 
risk of electric shock. e) When operating a po
wer tool outdoors, 
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.  Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric 
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp loca- tion is unavoidable,  use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) protected supply.  Use 
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric 
shock.
3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a 
power tool. Do not use a power tool 
while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.  A 
moment of inattention while operating 
power tools may result in serious person-
al injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Al- ways wear eye protection.  Protective 
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will 
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure  the switch is in the off-position before 
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the 
tool.  Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or energising power 
tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be- fore turning the power tool on.  A wrench 
or a key left attached to a rotating part of 
the power tool may resu lt in personal inju-
ry.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  and balance at all times.  This enables 
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do  not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep  your hair, clothing 
and gloves away from moving parts. 
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can 
be caught in moving parts.WARNING

g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and 
properly used.  Use of dust collection can 
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-rect power tool for your application.  The 
correct power tool will do the job better 
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
b) 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 re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power  source and/or the battery pack from the 
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing 
power tools.  Such preventive safety 
measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of  children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to oper ate the power tool. 
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of 
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool 
repaired before use.  Many accidents are 
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  Prop-
erly maintained cutti ng tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind and 
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool  bits etc. in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed.  Use of the power tool for 
operations different from those intended 
could result in a hazardous situation. 5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-ified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts.  This will ensure that 
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Chop and Mitre 
Saws
f Never stand on the power tool.  Serious inju-
ries can occur when the power tool tips over 
or when inadvertently coming into contact 
with the saw blade.
f Make sure that the gu ard operates properly 
and that it can move freely.  Never lock the 
guard in place when opened.
f Keep hands away from the cutting area 
while the machine is running.  Danger of in-
jury when coming in contact with the saw 
blade.
f 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.
f Guide the saw blade against the workpiece 
only when the machine is switched on.  Oth-
erwise there is damage of kickback, when 
the saw blade becomes wedged in the work-
piece.
f Keep handles dry, clea n, and free from oil 
and grease.  Greasy, oily handles are slippery 
causing loss of control.
f Operate the power tool only when the work 
area to the workpiece is clear of any adjust-
ing tools, wood chips, etc.  Small pieces of 
wood or other objects that come in contact 
with the rotating saw blade can strike the op-
erator with high speed.
f 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.
f Use the machine only for cutting the mate-
rials listed under Intended Use.  Otherwise, 
the machine can be subject to overload.

fIf the saw blade should become jammed, 
switch the machine off and hold the work-
piece until the saw blade comes to a com-
plete stop. To prevent kickback, the work-
piece may not be moved until after the 
machine has come to a complete stop.  Cor-
rect the cause for the jamming of the saw 
blade before restarting the machine.
f Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged 
saw blades.  Unsharpened or improperly set 
saw blades produce narrow kerf causing ex-
cessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f Always use saw blades with correct size 
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor 
holes.  Saw blades that do not match the 
mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
f Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw 
blades.  Such saw blades can easily break.
f Do not touch the saw blade after working 
before it has cooled.  The saw blade be-
comes very hot while working.
f Never operate the machine without the in-
sert plate. Replace a defective insert plate. 
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are 
possible from the saw blade.
f Check the cable regularly and have a dam-
aged cable repaired only through an author-
ised customer service agent for Bosch pow-
er tools. Replace  damaged extension 
cables.  This will ensure that the safety of the 
power tool is maintained. f
Store the machine in a safe manner when 
not being used. The storage location must 
be dry and lockable.  This prevents the ma-
chine from storage damage, and from being 
operated by untrained persons.
f Secure the workpiece.  A workpiece clamped 
with clamping devices or in a vice is held 
more secure than by hand.
f Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from 
light alloys can burn or explode.
f Never leave the machine before it has come 
to a complete stop.  Cutting tools that are 
still running can cause injuries.
f Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and 
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working.  Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Products sold in GB only : Your product is fitted 
with an 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 fit-
ted in its place by an authorised customer serv-
ice 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 in-
serted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only : Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual 
current of 30 mA or less.
