Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it. An
unclean shank cannot be fastened securely.
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
The saw blade should not be longer than required for
the intended cut. Use a narrow saw blade when sawing
tight curves.
If the saw blade is wedged or jammed when removing,
press the saw blade holder lightly toward the front (ap-
prox. 2 mm).
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing as-
bestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
The contact protector attached to the casing (see fig-
ure 13, page 67) prevents accidental touching of the
saw blade during the working procedure and may not
be removed.
Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building mate-
rials etc., check for foreign objects, such as nails,
screws, etc. and remove them as required.
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum board, etc. For plunge cuts, use only
short saw blades.
For long and straight cuts in thick wood (>40 mm), the
cutting line can become inaccurate. In this case, using a
Bosch circular saw is recommended to achieve accurate
cuts.
When working small or thin workpieces, always use a
stable support or a saw station (Bosch PLS 300).
In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as
far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently
and install a residual current device (RCD). When work-
ing metals, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the
power tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be im-
paired.
Bosch Power Tools
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
authorised 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.
