uRegularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s

fan can draw the dust inside the housing and excessive

accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical

hazards.

uDo not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Do not operate the power tool while placed on a

combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite

these materials.

uDo not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-

cution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-

ing wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the

rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled cutting

unit to be forced upwards toward the operator.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by

the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the

pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing

the wheel to climb out or kick out. Abrasive wheels may also

break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below.

uMaintain a firm grip on the power tool and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback

forces. The operator can control upward kickback forces,

if proper precautions are taken.

uDo not position your body in line with the rotating

wheel. If kickback occurs, it will propel the cutting unit

upwards toward the operator.

uDo not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, seg-

mented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater

than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create

frequent kickback and loss of control.

uDo not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure.

Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and sus-

ceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut

and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

uWhen the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut

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.

uDo not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

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.

uSupport any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk

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

uStore the power tool safely when it is not in use. The

storage location must be dry and lockable. This pre-

vents the power tool from storage damage, and from be-

ing operated by untrained persons.

uAlways firmly clamp the workpiece into place. Do not

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.

uCheck the cable regularly and have a damaged cable

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.

uNever stand on the power tool. Serious injuries may oc-

cur if the power tool tips over or if you inadvertently come

into contact with the saw blade.

uAlways use the protective guard. The protective guard

protects users from any parts that break off from the cut-

ting disc and prevents unintentional contact with the cut-

ting disc.

uDo not brake the cutting disc to a stop by applying

side pressure after switching the power tool off. The

cutting disc can be damaged, break or cause kickback.

uNever leave the tool unattended before it has come to

a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can

cause injuries.
