Machine-Specific Safety Warnings - Bosch GSR 1000 SMART Professional Original Instructions Manual

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do 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.
b) Do 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.
c) Disconnect 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.
d) Store 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have 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.

Machine-specific Safety Warnings

u Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area 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 explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
u Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque
that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
u Hold the machine only by the insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may run into hidden wiring. Contact with
a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
u Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws.
u Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
u Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
u Take protective measures when dust can develop
during working that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive. Example: Some dusts are
regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work
with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
u Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dustfrom light alloys can burn
or explode.
u Always 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.
u Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the
On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
u Do not open the battery. Danger of shortcircuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
also against continuous sun irradiation and
fire. There is danger of explosion.
u In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and
