Intended Use; Inserting/Replacing The Saw Blade; Initial Operation - Bosch GST 100 Instructions D'emploi

Insert the mains plug only when the machine is
switched off.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
The cutting path must be free of obstacles both
above and below.
When sawing, the complete surface of the
base plate 11 should securely rest on the ma-
terial. For the working of smaller or thin work-
pieces, use a stable foundation or a saw table
(accessory).
When the cut is completed, switch off the ma-
chine and then pull the saw blade out of the cut
only after it has come to a standstill (danger of
kick-back).
Always switch off the machine and allow to
come to a stop before placing it down.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by apply-
ing side pressure after switching off.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Change
any cracked, bent or dull saw blades immedi-
ately.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect function-
ing of the machine if the original accessories
intended for it are used.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for making separating
cuts and cut-outs in wood, plastic, metal, ceramic

cuts with mitre angles to 45°. The saw blade rec-
ommendations are to be observed.
