Safety Warnings For Drills; Additional Safety Warnings - Bosch GBM 1600 RE Professional Instrucciones De Servicio

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch isin
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b) 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 repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any djustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to

Manual GBM 1600 RE.indd 17
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
it's manufacturer via an authorized service center
or a qualified person, in order to prevent electrical
shock.

Safety Warnings for Drills

u Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
u Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility
companyfor assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line
can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
u Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction torque
that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
u When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
u Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
u Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert
can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a 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 fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service 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 inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Additional safety warnings

u Do not use the power tool for explosive materials (e.
g., easily inflammable solvents). Power tools produce
sparks which could ignite developing vapours.
