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.
Keep the floor free of wood chips and mate-
rial remainders. You could slip or trip.
Use the machine only for cutting the mate-
rials listed under Intended Use. Otherwise,
the machine can be subject to overload.
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.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not stare into the laser
beam yourself, not even from a distance.
This power tool produces laser class 2 laser
radiation according to EN 60825-1. This can
lead to persons being blinded.
Do not replace the installed laser with an-
other laser type. A laser that does not fit to
this power tool could pose dangers for other
persons.
Bosch Power Tools
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.
Never leave the machine before it has come
to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are
still running can cause injuries.
Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Safety Warnings for Use as a Chop and Mitre
Saw
Make sure that the guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. Never lock the
guard in place when opened.
Never remove cutting remainders, wood
chips, etc. from the sawing area while the
machine is running. Always guide the tool
arm back to the neutral position first and
then switch the machine off.
Guide the saw blade against the workpiece
only when the machine is switched on. Oth-
erwise there is damage of kickback, when
the saw blade becomes wedged in the work-
piece.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be
worked. Do not saw workpieces that are too
small to clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of
your hand to the rotating saw blade is too
small.
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.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
