ceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
u
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
cutting unit motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective ac-
tion to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
u
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk
u
of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

Additional safety information

Store the power tool safely when it is not in use. The
u
storage location must be dry and lockable. This pre-
vents the power tool from storage damage, and from be-
ing operated by untrained persons.
Always firmly clamp the workpiece into place. Do not
u
carry out work on workpieces that are too small to be
clamped. Otherwise, the distance between your hand
and the rotating cutting disc will be too small.
Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable
u
repaired only by an authorised customer service
agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries may oc-
u
cur if the power tool tips over or if you inadvertently come
into contact with the saw blade.
Always use the protective guard. The protective guard
u
protects users from any parts that break off from the cut-
ting disc and prevents unintentional contact with the cut-
ting disc.
Do not brake the cutting disc to a stop by applying
u
side pressure after switching the power tool off. The
cutting disc can be damaged, break or cause kickback.
Never leave the tool unattended before it has come to
u
a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can
cause injuries.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
