General Safety Rules

ous injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not
store materials on or near the tool such that it
is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand to
reach them.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be carefully checked to ensure that
it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may af-
fect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly replaced.
All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should
be attempted only by trained repairmen. Con-
tact the nearest Bosch Factory Service Center,
Authorized Service Station or other competent
repair service.
Use only Bosch replacement parts. Others
may create a hazard.
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-
ries that may be suitable for one tool, may be-
come hazardous when used on another tool.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool
or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended — for ex-
ample; don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs
or logs.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
USE PROPER DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed
work into a blade or cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTEND-
ED. Turn the power off. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL. These tools
are precision built. Any alteration or modification
not specified is misuse and may result in danger-
ous conditions.
