SAFETY GOGGLES or glasses with side
shields. Wear hearing protection during ex-
tended use of power tools and dust mask for
dusty operations.
• STAY ALERT. USE COMMON SENSE.
Watch what you are doing. Do not operate tool
when you are tired or under influence of drugs.
•
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don’t
carry plugged in tool with finger on switch. Be
sure the switch is OFF before being plugged in.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
• BEFORE CONNECTING THE TOOL to a
power supply (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
the voltage supplied is the same as that speci-
fied on the tool’s nameplate. A power supply
with voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user - as
well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT
PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power supply
with voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
“Volts AC” designated tools are for Alternating
Current 50-60 Hz only. “Volts DC” designated
tools are for Direct Current. Do not use AC
designated tools with DC power supply. Do not
use
electronic speed controlled tools with DC
power supply.
Tool Use and Care
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool
or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
Don’t use tool for purpose not intended - for
example; don’t use a circular saw for cutting
tree limbs or logs.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate the tool.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by
cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Always keep cord away from the spinning
blade, bits or any other moving part while the
tool is in use.
• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS.
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords suitable for use outdoors and marked with
suffix W-A (for UL), or W (for CSA). Refer to
section “Extension Cords”, for proper cord use.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use,
before servicing, or when changing blades,
bits, cutters, etc.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use,
tools should be stored in dry, high or locked up
place - out of the reach of children.
• DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL.
These tools are precision built. Any alterations
or modifications not specified is misuse and
may result in a dangerous condition.
• THE USE OF ANY ACCESSORIES not
specified in this manual may create a hazard.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords peri-
odically and if damaged, have repaired by au-
thorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be promptly
and properly repaired or replaced. Have defec-
tive switches replaced. Do not use tool if switch
does not turn it on or off.
• ALL REPAIRS, ELECTRICAL OR ME-
CHANICAL, should be attempted only by
trained repairmen. Contact the nearest Bosch
Factory Service Center, or Bosch Authorized
Service Center or other competent repair cen-
ter. Use only Bosch replacement parts, any
other may create a hazard.
