Bosch PCM 8 S Original Instructions Manual page 37

Guide the saw blade against the workpiece
only when the machine is switched on. Oth-
erwise there is damage of kickback, when
the saw blade becomes wedged in the work-
piece.
Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the workpiece is clear of any adjust-
ing tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of
wood or other objects that come in contact
with the rotating saw blade can strike the op-
erator with high speed.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be
worked. Do not saw workpieces that are too
small to clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of
your hand to the rotating saw blade is too
small.
Operate the machine only for materials
mentioned under "Intended Use". Other-
wise, the machine can be subject to over-
load.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged
saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
saw blades produce narrow kerf causing ex-
cessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

Meaning
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not
stare into the laser beam yourself, not even from a distance.
This power tool produces laser class 2 laser radiation according
to EN 60825-1. Other persons could be blinded unintentionally.
Only for EC countries:
Do not dispose of power tools into household waste!
According to the European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical
and electronic equipment and its incorporation into national law,
power tools that are no longer suitable for use must be separately
collected and sent for recovery in an environmental-friendly manner.
Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Saw blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade be-
comes very hot while working.
Never operate the machine without the in-
sert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are
possible from the saw blade.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself, not even from a distance.
