Use the machine only for dry cutting.
Take hold of the electric tool only by the insulated
handle when the cutting tool used could come
in contact with hidden wiring or its own power
cable. Contact with voltage carrying wiring can
place the metal parts of the machine also under
voltage and lead to an electrical shock.
Never stand on machine. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is accidentally contacted.
Use cutting disks whose allowable speed is
at least as high as the no_load speed of the
machine. Check the cutting disk before use.
Keep your body positioned to either side of but
not in line with the cutting disk. In case of a
burst disk, your body is better protected from
possible fragments.
The cutting disk must be flawlessly mounted and
be able to rotate freely. Make a test run of at least
one minute without load. Do not use damaged,
out_of_round or vibrating cutting disks.
Always correctly adjust the depth stop.
When the depth stop is not properly adjusted,
the cutting d isk can cut into the surface under-
neath the base plate.
During operation, the cutting disk cover must
be attached and the protective pendulum hood
must be functioning properly.
Do not work with magnesium or materials con-
taining asbestos.
Protect the cutting disk from impacts, shocks
and grease.
Apply the machine to the work piece only when
it is switched on.
Keep your hands away from the rotating cutting
disk.
When cutting metal, sparks are generated. Take
care that no persons are endangered. Because
of the danger of fire, no combustible materials
should be located in the vicinity (spark flying
zone).
Blocking of the cutting disk leads to a jerking
reaction of the machine. In this case, switch off
the machine immediately.
Do not ram the cutting disk with force into the
F 000 622 257 | 12.2009
work piece or apply too much pressure when
using the machine. Avoid especially the catching
of the cutting disk when working on corners,
sharp edges, etc. When the cutting disk is dam-
aged due to misuse, it may develop cracks that
could lead to bursting without warning.
Avoid overloading the motor especially when
working with large work pieces. When cutting,
apply only light pressure to the handle.
Observe the dimensions of the cutting disk.
The hole diameter must fit on the tool spindle
or the adapter without play.
Do not apply sideways pressure to the cutting
disk.
Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for the mounting and usage of the cutting disk.
Caution! The cutting disk continuous to run
after the machine is switched off.
Actuate the spindle locking only when the cut-
ting disk is at a standstill.
The cutting disk becomes very hot while work-
ing; never take hold of it before it has cooled.
Bosch can ensure flawless functioning of
the machine only when original accessories
intended for the machine are used.
