The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 3 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
donotstareintothelaserbeamyourself,notevenfrom
adistance.This powertool produces laserclass 2 laserra-
diationaccording to EN 60825-1.This canleadto persons
being blinded.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or ex-
plode.
Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This preventsthe machinefrom storage damage,and from
being operated by untrained persons.
Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use. Otherwise, the machine can be sub-
ject to overload.
Alwaysfirmlyclampthepiecetobeworked.Donotsaw
workpieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise, the
clearance of your hand to the rotating saw blade is too
small.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working. Damagedcablesin-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Checkthecable regularlyand havea damagedcablere-
paired only through an authorised customer service
agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damagedsaw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce nar-
rowkerf causingexcessive friction,bladebinding andkick-
back.
Never operate the machine without the insert plate.
Replace a defective insert plate. Without flawless insert
plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
Donotusehighspeed steel(HSS)saw blades. Suchsaw
blades can easily break.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-
mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentri-
cally, causing loss of control.
Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it
can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
Operate the power tool only when the work area to the
workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, wood chips,
etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects that come in
contactwith therotating sawbladecan striketheoperator
with high speed.
Keep the floor free of wood chips and material remain-
ders. You could slip or trip.
Do not replace the installed laser or LED with another
type. Lasers or LEDs which are not suitable for this power
toolcouldposedangerstopersons.Repairorreplacement
must be performed by an authorised after-sales service
centre in order to prevent safety risks.
Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc.
from the sawing area while the machine is running. Al-
ways guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first
and then switch the machine off.
Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
Ifthesawbladeshouldbecomejammed,switchthe ma-
chine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the
workpiece may not be moved until after the machine
has come to a complete stop. Correct the cause for the
jamming of the saw blade before restarting the machine.
Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause in-
juries.
Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when
the machine is switched on. Otherwisethereis dangerof
kickback when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
Neverstandonthepowertool.Seriousinjuriescanoccur
when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently com-
ing into contact with the saw blade.
Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
Keep your fingers clear of the movable parts of the
glide arm. Danger of fingers being crushed or contused
and considerably injured.
Before switching on and during the complete sawing,
hold the handle firmly. While sawing, carry out a con-
trolled motion with the glide arm. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating the extremely smooth-running glide
arm can result in serious personal injury.
Always saw through the workpiece from front to rear.
Otherwise,there isdanger ofkickbackwhen the sawblade
becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
