Declaration Of Conformity; Dust/Chip Extraction - Bosch GSS Professional 230 A Original Instructions Manual

Note: To be accurate, an estimation of the level
of exposure to vibration experienced during a giv-
en period of work should also take into account
the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running but not actually doing the job. This
may significantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Avoid touching or breathing-in dusts that are
harmful to one's health or carcinogenic. Al-
ways use suitable dust extraction, work in
well ventilated areas and wear appropriate
protective equipment. When disposing of
dusts, pay attention that you or other per-
sons do not come into contact with these
dusts. Dusts dangerous to one's health devel-
op, e.g., when sanding lead-containing coat-
ings, chemically treated woods or some met-
als.
