Safety instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below 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 or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
Work area safety
uKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
uDo 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.
uKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
uPower 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.
uAvoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-
ors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
uDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
uDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
uWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
uIf operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-
ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
uStay 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
uUse personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
uPrevent 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.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
uRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
uDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
uDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
uIf 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.
uDo not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
uDo 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 de-
signed.
uDo 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.
uDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
uStore 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.
uMaintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 59S | (09.07.2019)

10 | English
uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
uUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
uKeep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
uHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Instructions for Metal Cutting Saws
uThe rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
uThe outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
uWear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
uKeep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken saw blade may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
uPosition the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning saw blade.
uRegularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s
fan can draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
uDo not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als. Do not operate the power tool while placed on a
combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
uDo not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock.
uAlways use undamaged saw blade flanges that are of
correct diameter for your selected saw blade. Proper
saw blade flanges support the saw blade thus reducing
the possibility of saw blade breakage.
uThe arbour size of saw blades and flanges must prop-
erly fit the spindle of the power tool. Saw blades and
flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
uDo not use damaged saw blades. Before each use, in-
spect the saw blades for chips and cracks. If the
power tool or saw blade is dropped, inspect for dam-
age or install an undamaged saw blade. After inspect-
ing and installing the saw blade, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating saw
blade and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged saw blades will nor-
mally break apart during this test time.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-
ing saw blade. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating saw blade which in turn causes the uncontrolled
cutting unit to be forced upwards toward the operator.
For example, if a saw blade is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the saw blade that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the saw blade to climb out or kick out. Saw blades may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
uMaintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. The operator can control upward kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
uDo not position your body in line with the rotating saw
blade. If kickback occurs, it will propel the cutting unit
upwards toward the operator.
uDo not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or seg-
mented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater
than 10 mm. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
uDo not “jam” the saw blade or apply excessive pres-
sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the saw blade increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the saw blade
in the cut and the possibility of kickback or saw blade
breakage.
uWhen the saw blade is binding or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the cutting unit motionless until the saw blade comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
blade from the cut while the saw blade is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of saw blade
binding.

uDo not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the saw blade reach full speed and carefully re-
enter the cut. The saw blade may bind, walk up or kick-
back if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
uSupport any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk
of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near
the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the saw blade.
uUse clamps to support the workpiece whenever pos-
sible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must
always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either
side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces
that are too small to be securely clamped or held by
hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
uThe workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed
the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any
way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown
at high speeds, causing injury.
uPush the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the
saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the
saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without
cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and
push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the
pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top
of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly
towards the operator.
uNever cross your hand over the intended line of cut-
ting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting
the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece
to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice
versa is very dangerous.
uDo not reach behind the fence when the saw blade is
rotating. Never fail to maintain a safe distance of 100
mm between hand and rotating saw blade (applies to
both sides of the saw blade). It might not be possible to
tell how close the rotating saw blade is to your hand, and
you may be severely injured.
uInspect your workpiece before cutting. If the work-
piece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside
bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain
that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and
table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped work-
pieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails
or foreign objects in the workpiece.
uDo not use the power tool until the table is free of
tools; the workpiece must be the only thing on the
table. Small pieces of scrap or other objects that come
into contact with the rotating blade can be hurled away at
high speed.
uCut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and
may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
uEnsure the power tool is mounted or placed on a level,
firm work surface before use. A level and firm work sur-
face reduces the risk of the power tool becoming un-
stable.
uPlan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is
set correctly to support the workpiece and will not in-
terfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without
turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to
assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting
the fence.
uProvide adequate support such as table extensions,
saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or
longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider
than the power tool table can tip if not securely suppor-
ted. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the
lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
uDo not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the
workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning blade.
uThe cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by
any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined,
i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
uAlways use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods
have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade
to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
uLet the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece be-
ing thrown.
uIf the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
power tool off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed
material. Continued cutting with a jammed workpiece
could cause loss of control or damage to the power tool.
uAfter finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
uHold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut
or when releasing the switch before the saw head is
completely in the down position. The braking action of
the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
uNever remove cuttings etc. from the cutting area
while the power tool is running. Always guide the tool
arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the
power tool off.
uDo not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.

uKeep your work area clean. Material mixtures are partic-
ularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or ex-
plode.
uDo not use saw blades made from high speed steel
(HSS). Such saw blades can easily break.
uCheck the cable regularly and have a damaged cable
repaired only by 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.
uDo not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
uAlways 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 off-
centre, causing loss of control.
uMake sure that the guard works properly and that it
can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
uKeep the floor free of metal swarf and material rem-
nants. You could slip or trip.
uOperate the power tool only when the work area up to
the workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, metal
swarf, etc. Small pieces of metal or other objects that
come into contact with the rotating saw blade can strike
the operator with high speed.
uNever leave the tool unattended before it has come to
a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can
cause injuries.
uGuide the saw blade against the workpiece only when
the saw is switched on. Otherwise there is a risk of kick-
back occurring if the saw blade catches in the workpiece.
uNever stand on the power tool. Serious injuries may oc-
cur if the power tool tips over or if you inadvertently come
into contact with the saw blade.
uOnly use the power tool for dry cutting. Water entering
a power tool increases the risk of electric shock.

during assembly or when carrying out any kind of
work on the power tool.
Items included
Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from their
packaging.
Remove all packing material from the power tool and the ac-
cessories provided.
Check to ensure that all the parts listed below have been
supplied before using the power tool for the first time:
– Metal cut-off saw with mounted saw blade
– Hex key/cross-headed screwdriver (12)
Note: Check the power tool for possible damage.
Before continuing to use the power tool, carefully check that
all protective devices or slightly damaged parts are working
perfectly and according to specifications. Check that the
moving parts are working perfectly and without jamming;
check whether any parts are damaged. All parts must be fit-
ted correctly and all the conditions necessary to ensure
smooth operation must be met.
If the protective devices or any parts become damaged, you
must have them properly repaired or replaced by an author-
ised service centre.
Stationary or flexible mounting
uTo ensure safe handling, the power tool must be
mounted on a flat, stable work surface (e.g. work
bench) before use.
Mounting on a work surface (see figure A)
– Use a suitable screwed connection to secure the power
tool to the work surface. Use the holes (23) to do this.
Flexible installation (not recommended)
If, in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to securely
mount the power tool on a work surface, you can improvise
by placing the feet of the saw table (25) on an appropriate
base (e.g. workbench, flat ground, etc.), without screwing
down the power tool.
Changing the saw blade (see figures B1−B4)
uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
uDo not activate the spindle lock (3) while the tool
spindle is moving. The power tool may become damaged
if you do this.
uWear protective gloves when fitting the saw blade.
There is a risk of injury when touching the saw blade.
Only use saw blades that have a maximum permitted speed
higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Only use saw blades that are recommended by the power
tool manufacturer and are suitable for use on the material
you want to saw. This will prevent the saw teeth overheating
when sawing.
Removing the saw blade
– Bring the power tool into the work position (see "Unlock-
ing the power tool (work position)", page15)
– Loosen the fastening screw (26) (by approx. two turns)
using the cross-headed screwdriver (12).
Do not unscrew the screw completely.
– Loosen the fastening screw (27) (by approx. six turns)
using the cross-headed screwdriver (12).
Do not unscrew the screw completely.
– Press the locking lever (1) and swivel the retracting blade
guard (4) upwards as far as possible.
– Then pull the retracting blade guard (4) and the cover

indicated correctly (see "Adjusting the laser", page16).
The laser beam can be misplaced due to vibrations from in-
tensive use, for example.
Clamping the workpiece (see figure G)
To ensure maximum safety while working, the workpiece
must always be firmly clamped.
Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp firmly.
The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have some-
thing placed underneath it or be supported.
– Place the workpiece against the angle guide (6).
– Slide the locking spindle (7) against the workpiece and
clamp the workpiece in place using the spindle handle
(9).
Releasing the workpiece
– Release the spindle handle (9).
– Open the quick release (8) and pull the locking spindle
(7) away from the workpiece.
Working advice

ing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause
respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicin-
ity.
Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 59S | (09.07.2019)

16 | English
Certain kinds of metal dust are hazardous, especially in com-
bination with alloys such as zinc, aluminium or chrome. Ma-
terials containing asbestos may only be machined by special-
ists.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
The saw blade (31) can become blocked by dust, chips or
workpiece fragments in the recess of the saw table (25).
– Switch the power tool off and pull the mains plug out of
the socket.
– Wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
– Pull out the chip drawer (24) and empty it completely.
uAvoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Starting operation
uPay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
uProducts that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Position of the operator (see figure I)
uDo not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the
power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
This protects your body against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
– Do not reach one arm across the other when in front of
the tool arm .
Switching on (see figure J)
– To start, press the on/off switch (17) and keep it
pressed.
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (17) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed throughout operation.
The tool arm can only be guided downwards by pushing the
locking lever (1).
– Therefore, in order to saw, the locking lever (1) must be
pressed in addition to pulling the on/off switch.
Soft start
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power
tool is switched on and increases the service life of the mo-
tor.
Switching off
– To switch off, release the on/off switch (17).
Sawing
– Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimen-
sions.
– Set the required mitre angle as necessary.
– Switch the power tool on.
– Push the locking lever (1) and slowly guide the tool arm
downwards using the handle (16).
– Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
– Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete stop.
– Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
Checking and adjusting the basic settings
uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
To ensure precise cuts, the basic settings of the power tool
must be checked and adjusted as necessary after intensive
use.
Experience and suitable special tools are required for this.
A Bosch after-sales service point will handle this work
quickly and reliably.
Adjusting the laser
Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be con-
nected to the power supply.
uWhile adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool
arm), never activate the on/off switch. Accidental
starting of the power tool can lead to injuries.
– Bring the power tool into the work position.
Checking: (see figure K1)
– Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
– Push the locking lever (1) and slowly guide the tool arm
downwards using the handle (16).
– Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade
line up with the cutting line.
– Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the
tool arm upwards.
– Clamp the workpiece.
– Turn on the laser beam using the switch (19).
The laser beam must be flush with the cutting line on the
workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is
guided downwards.
Setting: (see figure K2)
– Turn the set screw (35) using the cross-headed screw-
driver (12) provided until the laser beam is parallel with
the cutting line on the workpiece along its entire length.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to
right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from
right to left.
Aligning the angle indicator (see figure L)
– Bring the power tool into the transport position.
– Loosen the clamping handle (13) of the angle guide (6).
– Turn the angle guide (6) until it stops at 0°.
Checking
– Set an angle gauge to 90° and position it between the
angle guide (6) and the saw blade (31) on the saw table
(25).
The leg of the angle gauge must be flush with the angle guide
along its entire length.

Setting
– Turn the angle guide (6) until the leg of the angle gauge is
flush with the saw blade along its entire length.
– Retighten the clamping handle (13).
– Undo the screw (36) with the cross-headed screwdriver
(12) provided and align the angle indicator along the 0°
mark.
– Retighten the screw.
Transport
Before transporting the power tool, the following steps must
be carried out:
– Bring the power tool into the transport position.
– Remove all accessories that cannot be securely fitted to
the power tool.
If possible, transport unused saw blades in an enclosed
container.
– Always carry the power tool by the transport handle (20).
uOnly use the transport devices to transport the power
tool and never the protective devices.
Maintenance and service
Maintenance and cleaning
uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
uClean the air vents on your power tool regularly. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and ex-
cessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
uIn extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if
possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and in-
stall a residual current device (RCD) upstream. When
machining metals, conductive dust can settle inside the
power tool, which can affect its protective insulation.
uHave maintenance and repair work performed exclus-
ively by a qualified specialist. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to move
freely and retract automatically. It is therefore important to
keep the area around the retracting blade guard clean at all
times. Remove dust and chips with a paintbrush.

Consignes de sécurité
Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour l’outil
électrique
AVERTISSE-
MENT
Lire tous les avertissements de sé-
curité, les instructions, les illustra-
tions et les spécifications fournis
avec cet outil électrique. Ne pas suivre les instructions
énumérées ci-dessous peut provoquer un choc électrique,
un incendie et/ou une blessure sérieuse.
Conserver tous les avertissements et toutes les instruc-
tions pour pouvoir s'y reporter ultérieurement.
Le terme "outil électrique" dans les avertissements fait réfé-
rence à votre outil électrique alimenté par le secteur (avec
cordon d’alimentation) ou votre outil électrique fonctionnant
sur batterie (sans cordon d’alimentation).
Sécurité de la zone de travail
uConserver la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée.
Les zones en désordre ou sombres sont propices aux ac-
cidents.
uNe pas faire fonctionner les outils électriques en at-
mosphère explosive, par exemple en présence de li-
quides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussières. Les ou-
tils électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent en-
flammer les poussières ou les fumées.
uMaintenir les enfants et les personnes présentes à
l’écart pendant l’utilisation de l’outil électrique. Les
distractions peuvent vous faire perdre le contrôle de l’ou-
til.
Sécurité électrique
uIl faut que les fiches de l’outil électrique soient adap-
tées au socle. Ne jamais modifier la fiche de quelque
façon que ce soit. Ne pas utiliser d’adaptateurs avec
des outils électriques à branchement de terre. Des
fiches non modifiées et des socles adaptés réduisent le
risque de choc électrique.
uÉviter tout contact du corps avec des surfaces reliées
à la terre telles que les tuyaux, les radiateurs, les cui-
sinières et les réfrigérateurs. Il existe un risque accru
de choc électrique si votre corps est relié à la terre.
uNe pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à des
conditions humides. La pénétration d‘eau à l’intérieur
d’un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc élec-
trique.
uNe pas maltraiter le cordon. Ne jamais utiliser le cor-
don pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’outil électrique.
Maintenir le cordon à l’écart de la chaleur, du lubri-
fiant, des arêtes vives ou des parties en mouvement.
Des cordons endommagés ou emmêlés augmentent le
risque de choc électrique.
uLorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique à l’extérieur, utili-
ser un prolongateur adapté à l’utilisation extérieure.
L’utilisation d’un cordon adapté à l’utilisation extérieure
réduit le risque de choc électrique.
uSi l'usage d'un outil électrique dans un emplacement
humide est inévitable, utiliser une alimentation proté-
gée par un dispositif à courant différentiel résiduel
(RCD). L'usage d'un RCD réduit le risque de choc élec-
trique.
Sécurité des personnes
uRester vigilant, regarder ce que vous êtes en train de
faire et faire preuve de bon sens dans votre utilisation
de l’outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique
lorsque vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’emprise de
drogues, de l’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment
d’inattention en cours d’utilisation d’un outil électrique
peut entraîner des blessures graves.
uUtiliser un équipement de protection individuelle.
Toujours porter une protection pour les yeux. Les
équipements de protection individuelle tels que les
masques contre les poussières, les chaussures de sécuri-
té antidérapantes, les casques ou les protections audi-
tives utilisés pour les conditions appropriées réduisent
les blessures.
uÉviter tout démarrage intempestif. S’assurer que l’in-
terrupteur est en position arrêt avant de brancher
l’outil au secteur et/ou au bloc de batteries, de le ra-
masser ou de le porter. Porter les outils électriques en
ayant le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou brancher des outils
