Service
 Have 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 Combination Saws
 The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 39 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
LASER RADIATION
DO NOT STARE INTO
THE BEAM
CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT
EN 60825-1: 2007
<1mW. 650 nm
 If the text of the warning label is not in your national
language, stick the provided warning label in your na-
tional language over it before operating for the first
time.
 Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
 Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can occur
when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently com-
ing into contact with the saw blade.
 Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
 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
contact with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator
with high speed.
 Keep the floor free of wood chips and material remain-
ders. You could slip or trip.
 Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use. Otherwise, the machine can be sub-
ject to overload.
 If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the 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.
 Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce nar-
row kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back.
 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.
 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 becomes very hot while working.
 Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and
do not stare into the laser beam yourself, not even from
Bosch Power Tools
a distance. This power tool produces laser class 2 laser ra-
diation according to EN 60825-1. This can lead to persons
being blinded.
 Do not replace the installed laser with another laser
type. A laser that does not fit to this power tool could pose
dangers for other persons.
 Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable re-
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.
 Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from
being operated by untrained persons.
 Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause in-
juries.
 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. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Safety Warnings for Use as a Chop and Mitre Saw
 Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it
can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
 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.
 Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when
the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is damage
of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
 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.
 Never operate the machine without the insert plate.
Replace a defective insert plate. Without flawless insert
plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Safety Warnings for Use as a Table Saw
 Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it
can move freely. It must face against the table before saw-
ing and against the workpiece while sawing; never lock the
guard in place when opened.
 Never reach behind the saw blade in order to hold the
workpiece, remove saw dust/wood chips or for any oth-
er reason. The clearance of your hand to the rotating saw
blade is too small.
 Guide the workpiece against the saw blade only when
the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is damage
of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
