Pay attention that the base plate 9 rests se-
curely on the material while sawing. A
jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or
unsharp saw blades can break or cause kick-
back.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by ap-
plying side pressure after switching off. The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause
kickback.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
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.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide
for fresh air and seek medical help in case
of complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
Bosch Power Tools
Use the battery only in conjunction with
your Bosch power tool. This measure alone
protects the battery against dangerous over-
load.
Use only original Bosch batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your
power tool. When using other batteries, e. g.
imitations, reconditioned batteries or other
brands, there is danger of injury as well as
property damage through exploding batter-
ies.
