Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the workpiece is clear of any adjust-
ing tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of
wood or other objects that come in contact
with the rotating saw blade can strike the op-
erator with high speed.
Only saw one workpiece at a time. Work-
pieces placed on top or aside of each other
can cause the saw blade to jam or the work-
pieces to move against each other while saw-
ing.
Always use the parallel guide or the angle
guide. This improves the cutting accuracy
and reduces the possibility of saw blade
binding.
Use the machine for grooving or rebating
only with an appropriately suitable protec-
tive device (e. g. a tunnel blade guard).
Do not use the machine for cutting slots.
Use the machine only for cutting the mate-
rials listed under Intended Use. Otherwise,
the machine can be subject to overload.
If the saw blade should become jammed,
switch the machine off and hold the work-
piece until the saw blade comes to a com-
plete stop. To prevent kickback, the work-
piece may not be moved until after the
machine has come to a complete stop. Cor-
rect the cause for the jamming of the saw
blade before restarting the machine.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged
saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
saw blades produce narrow kerf causing ex-
cessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Saw blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.

Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade be-
comes very hot while working.
Never operate the machine without the in-
sert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are
possible from the saw blade.
Check the cable regularly and have a dam-
aged cable repaired only through an author-
ised customer service agent for Bosch pow-
er tools. Replace damaged extension
cables. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Store the machine in a safe manner when
not being used. The storage location must
be dry and lockable. This prevents the ma-
chine from storage damage, and from being
operated by untrained persons.
Never leave the machine before it has come
to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are
still running can cause injuries.
Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
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 fit-
ted in its place by an authorised customer serv-
ice 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 in-
serted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
