Read all safety warnings, in-
WARNING
structions including Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and container la-
bels provided with the paints and solvents.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to loose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) The plugs of power tools must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Protect the machine from rain and mois-
ture. The penetration of water in a power
tool increases the risk of electric shock.
c) Do not misuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Bosch Power Tools
e) When operating the power tool in
damp/moist environments is unavoida-
ble, use a residual current device (RCD).
Use of a residual current device reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as
dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
4) Use and care of the power tool
a) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
b) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
c) Use the power tool, accessories and ap-
plication tools etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of power tools for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
