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.
Do not use the power tool with the hook without rub-
u
ber covers or with damaged rubber covers. If the rub-
ber covers on the hook are damaged, replace the hook
by a new one.
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 is always resting on the
u
workpiece while sawing. The saw blade can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
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.
Ensure that the material is securely clamped. Do not
u
support the workpiece using your hands or feet. Do
not touch any objects or the floor with the saw while it
is running. There is a risk of 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.
Before any work on the machine (e. g. maintenance,
u
changing the tool, etc.) as well as during its transport
and storage, always remove the battery and lock the
On/Off switch in the off position. Danger of injury when
accidentally actuating the On/Off switch.
Wear gloves, saw blades are sharp and can become hot
u
during cutting.
Use a dust mask when cutting wood that has been
u
treated with a chemical wood preservative.
Do not modify any components on the machine.
u
Danger of injury.
Use only original Bosch accessories.
