Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
u
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Safety instructions for jigsaws
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
u
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an elec-
tric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach
u
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-
u
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while
u
sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
When the cut is completed, switch off the power tool
u
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 power tool securely.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect
u
condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively
influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
u
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
u
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
Bosch Power Tools
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
