Operation as a pull push saw:
Guide the saw blade against the work-
piece only when the machine is switched
on. Otherwise there is damage of kickback,
when the saw blade becomes wedged in the
workpiece.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is
held more secure than by hand.
Operation as a table saw:
Guide the workpiece only against the run-
ning saw blade. Otherwise, there is danger
of kickback when the saw blade becomes
wedged in the workpiece.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
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.
Use the machine only for cutting the mate-
rials listed under Intended Use. Otherwise,
the machine can be subject to overload.
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 universal guide. This im-
proves the cutting accuracy and reduces the
possibility that the saw blade becomes
wedged or jams.
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
(stopped grooves).
For all cuts, firstly ensure that the saw
blade cannot touch or graze against the
stops or any other machine parts. When the
saw blade becomes wedged or caught in oth-
er machine parts, there is danger of kickback
and the power tool can be considerably dam-
aged.

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.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself. This measuring tool produc-
es laser class 1M laser radiation according to
EN 60825-1. Looking or viewing directly into
the laser beam – especially with optical in-
struments such as binoculars etc. – can dam-
age the eye.
