Bosch Power Tools 1640VSK Saw User Manual


 
The enclosed blades are intended for
cutting wood and plastic materials. Do not
contact or attempt to saw through hard
objects like nails, screws, etc. If the
reciprocating saw blade strikes a hard object,
the saw may kickback.
Keep hand and body away from and to the
side of the blade while cutting. Blade could
slip out of the material and strike you.
Remove saw from work and allow blade to
come to a complete stop before next cut or
removing cut-off piece. Shutting off the saw
after each cut allows time to set up next
operation and avoids accidental contact with a
moving saw blade.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the blade
or accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
The miter table attachment must be
clamped to a workbench before mounting
the saw to the miter table attachment.
Firmly fasten tool to the table. Table with
tool mounted is not designed to stand alone
and may fall if not clamped.
When using the tool in the miter table
attachment, the blade must never be used
with the teeth pointing up. Contact with the
blade while in use will cause an injury.
The saw must not be used with other miter
boxes. Other miter boxes are not designed for
this saw.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
