Additional Safety Warnings - Bosch GWS18V-8B15 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power
supply. While the tool may appear to work, the
electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to
fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power
tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to
disassemble any portion of the tool since internal
wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain
cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Do not use vacuum or other dust collection system
when cutting metal. Sparks from metal cutting can
cause fire in the collector.
