Do not use a pneumatic tool that has a defective On/Off
switch. A pneumatic tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the air supply before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or when not using for ex-
tended periods. This safety measure prevents accidental
starting of the pneumatic tool.
Store idle pneumatic tools out of the reach of children.
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pneumatic
tool or these instructions to operate the device. Pneu-
matic tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the pneumatic tool with care. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the pneu-
matic tool's operation. Have damaged parts repaired
before using the pneumatic tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained pneumatic tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Use the pneumatic tool, accessories, application tools,
etc. according to these instructions. Take into consid-
eration the working conditions and the activities to be
carried out. This reduces the development of dust, vibra-
tions and noise to the greatest extent.
The pneumatic tool should be set up, adjusted or used
exclusively by qualified and trained operators.
The pneumatic tool may not be modified in any way.
Modifications can reduce the effectivity of the safety
measures and increase the risks for the operator.
Service
Have your pneumatic tool repaired only through a qual-
ified repair person and only using original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pneumatic tool
is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Pneumatic Jigsaws
Check if the type plate can be read. If required, provide
for replacement from the manufacturer.
In case of breakage of the workpiece or an accessory,
or even of the pneumatic tool itself, parts can be
thrown about at high speed.
During operation, repairs or maintenance, and when
replacing accessories on the pneumatic tool, always
wear shock-resistant eye protection. The degree of the
required protection should be separately evaluated for
each individual application.
Working certain materials can produce sparks and
metal chips which pose a danger.
Ensure that the application tool is fitted correctly and
securely.
Never place your hand near the moving application
tool. You may be injured.
Caution! Application tools can become hot during pro-
longed operation of the pneumatic tool. Wear protective
gloves.
1 609 92A 37X | (9.12.16)
Wear close-fitting gloves. The flow of compressed air
makes the handles of pneumatic tools cold. Warm hands
are less sensitive to vibrations. Loose fitting gloves can be
caught by rotating parts.
The operators and the maintenance personnel must be
physically capable to handle the size, weight and pow-
er of the pneumatic tool.
Be prepared for unexpected movements of the pneu-
matic tool that can develop owing to reaction forces or
breakage of the application tool. Maintain a firm grip
on the pneumatic tool and position your body and arms
to allow you to resist such movements. These precau-
tions can prevent injuries.
When working with this pneumatic tool, assume a com-
fortable stance, hold the tool securely and avoid unfa-
vourable positions or such positions, where it is diffi-
cult to keep your balance. For prolonged work, the
operator should change the stance or posture, which
can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
In case of an interruption of the air supply or reduced
operating pressure, switch the pneumatic tool off.
Check the operating pressure and start again when the op-
erating pressure is optimal.
Use only the lubricants recommended by Bosch.
When using the pneumatic tool for the performance of
work-related activities, the operator may experience
unpleasant sensations in the hands, arms, shoulders,
neck area or other body parts.
Should the operator perceive symptoms such as persis-
tent nausea, discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, these warning signs
should not be ignored. The operator should notify his
employer about the symptoms and consult a qualified
physician.
Do not use a damaged application tool. Before every
use, check application tools for chips and cracks, abra-
sion or excessive wear. If the pneumatic tool or the ap-
plication tool falls, check whether it is damaged or use
an undamaged application tool. When you have
checked and inserted the application tool, keep your-
self and bystanders away from the vicinity of the mov-
ing application tool and leave the power tool to run for
a minute at maximum speed. Damaged application tools
will normally break apart during this test time.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility compa-
ny for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
Avoid contact with "live" conductors. The pneumatic
tool is not insulated; contact with a "live" conductor can
lead to an electric shock.
The dust developing during sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling and similar
operations can act carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagen-
ic. Some of the substances contained in these dusts are:
–
Lead in lead-based paints and varnishes;
–
Crystalline silica in bricks, cement and other masonry
work;
–
Arsenic and chromate in chemically treated wood.
