General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to followthewarnings
and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool orbattery-operated(cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
fKeepwork areacleanandwell lit.Clutteredordarkareas
invite accidents.
fDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
fKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
fPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
fAvoid body contact with earthedorgroundedsurfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
fDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterenteringapowertool will increasethe risk of electric
shock.
fDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
fWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
fIf operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
fStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
fUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

fPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car-
rying power tools with your finger on the switchor energis-
ing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
fRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
fDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
fDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
fIf devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
fDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
fDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
fDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
fStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
fMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged,havethepowertoolrepairedbeforeuse.Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
fKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cuttingtools withsharpcuttingedges are lesslikely to bind
and are easier to control.
fUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
fHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
fHold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
partsofthe power tool“live”andcould givetheoperatoran
electric shock.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
fKeep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
undertheworkpiece.Contactwith thesawbladecanlead
to injuries.
fApply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
fPay attention that the base plate rests securely on the
material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or
lead to kickback.
fWhen the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kick-
back and can place down the machine securely.
fUseonlyundamagedsaw blades that areinperfectcon-
dition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ-
ence the cut, or lead to kickback.
fDo not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback.
fUse suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the workarea or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
fSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
fAlways wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool.
fBefore any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
fClean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it. An
unclean shank cannot be fastened securely.
fCheck the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
fThe saw blade should not be longer than required for
the intended cut. Use a narrow saw blade when sawing
tight curves.
fIf the saw blade is wedged or jammed when removing,
press the saw blade holder lightly toward the front (ap-
prox. 2 mm).
fDusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
somewood types,minerals andmetalcan beharmfulto

one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing as-
bestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-
ble for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
fPrevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
fObserve correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
fThe contact protector attached to the casing (see fig-
ure 13, page 67) prevents accidental touching of the
saw blade during the working procedure and may not
be removed.
fBefore sawing in wood, particle boards, building mate-
rials etc., check for foreign objects, such as nails,
screws, etc. and remove them as required.
fPlunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum board, etc. For plunge cuts, use only
short saw blades.
fAdapt the settings of your power tool to the respective
application. For example, reduce the stroke rate when
cutting metal or for tight curved cuts.
fFor long and straight cuts in thick wood (>40 mm), the cut-
ting line can become inaccurate. In this case, using a Bosch
circular saw is recommended to achieve accurate cuts.
fWhen working small or thin workpieces, always use a
stable support or a saw station (Bosch PLS 300).
fIn extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as
far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently
and install a residual current device (RCD). When work-
ing metals, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the
power tool. The totalinsulation of the powertoolcanbeim-
paired.
fProducts sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (AS-
TA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD)with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Noise/Vibration Information
The measured values of the machine are listed in the table on
page 60.
Noise and vibrational values (vector sum of three directions)
determined according to EN 60745.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if thetool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorlymaintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-
crease the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
whenitis running but not actually doing the job. Thismaysignif-
icantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.
