Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
If the power cable is damaged or cut through while
working, do not touch the cable but pull the power
plug immediately. Never use the machine with a dam
aged cable.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protection. Dust
is generated while working that can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protective
measure are required.
For example: Some types of dust are considered to be
carcinogenic. Use suitable dust vacuuming and wear
a dust protection mask.
Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep the
workplace clean since mixed materials are especially
dangerous.
Wear protective gloves and sturdy shoes. When nec
essary, also wear an apron.
Connect machines that are used outdoors by means
of a fault current circuit breaker (FI ) with a maximum
triggering current of 30 mA. Use only an extension ca
ble that is approved for outdoor use.
Always lead the cable to the rear away from the ma
chine.
Use the machine only for dry cutting.
Take hold of the electric tool only by the insulated han
dle 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 elec
trical 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 disk
can cut into the surface underneath the base plate.

2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR CUT-OFF AND MITER SAWS
English–2
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte
nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
During operation, the cutting disk cover must be at
tached and the protective pendulum hood must be
functioning properly.
Do not work with magnesium or materials containing
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 dan
ger 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 work
piece or apply too much pressure when using the ma
chine. Avoid especially the catching of the cutting disk
when working on corners, sharp edges, etc. When the
cutting disk is damaged 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 cutting disk
is at a standstill.
The cutting disk becomes very hot while working; nev
er take hold of it before it has cooled.
Bosch can ensure flawless functioning of the machine
only when original accessories intended for the ma
chine are used.
