Power Tool Use And Care; Service - Bosch GWX13-50 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.

▶ Power Tool Use and Care

Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

▶ Service

Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
