Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse 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. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten- sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid- able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Personal safety Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op- erating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car- rying power tools with your finger on the switch or energis- ing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro- tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel- lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex- traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con- nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re- duce dust-related hazards. Power tool use and care 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. 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. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 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. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind- ing 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. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac- cordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per- son using only identical replacement parts. This will en- sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety Warnings for Jigsaws Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac- cessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Additional Safety and Working Instructions Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries. Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece. Pay attention that the base plate rests securely on the material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kickback. OBJ_BUCH-2000-004.book Page 9 Monday, January 25, 2016 6:24 PM10 | English 1 609 92A 2BW | (25.1.16) Bosch Power Tools When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kick- back and can place down the machine securely. Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect con- dition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ- ence the cut, or lead to kickback. Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam- aged, break or cause kickback. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo- sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp- ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. 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. Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from a distance). Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries. The saw blade should not be longer than required for the intended cut. Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves. When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by the ejected saw blade. Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res- piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. – As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable for the material. – Provide for good ventilation of the working place. – It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can easily ignite. Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow- er source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V. To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it. The restarting protection prevents uncontrolled start- ing of the machine after a power failure. To restart the machine, set the On/Off switch to the off position, and then switch the power tool on again. The contact protector attached to the casing (see fig- ure 15, page 193) prevents accidental touching of the saw blade during the working procedure and may not be removed. Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building mate- rials etc., check for foreign objects, such as nails, screws, etc. and remove them as required. Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc. For plunge cuts, use only short saw blades. The metal overshoe prevents the plastic footplate from being scratched up, especially when sawing metal. Adapt the settings of your power tool to the respective application. For example, reduce the stroke rate and or- bital action when cutting metal or for tight curved cuts. When working small or thin work pieces, always use a sturdy support or a saw table (accessory). In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and in- stall a residual current device (RCD). When working met- als, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the power tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be impaired. 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 au- thorised 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.

The values given are valid for a nominal voltage [U] of 230 V. For different voltages and models for specific countries, these values can vary. Declaration of Conformity We declare under our sole responsibility that the product de- scribed under “Technical Data” is in conformity with the fol- lowing standards or standardisation documents: EN 60745 according to the provisions of the directives 2009/125/EC (Regulation 1194/2012), 2011/65/EU, 2014/30/EU, 2006/42/EC, EN 50581. Technical file (2006/42/EC) at: Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH, PT/ETM9, 70538 Stuttgart, GERMANY Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH 70538 Stuttgart, GERMANY Stuttgart, 01.01.2017 Noise/Vibration Information The measured values of the machine are listed in the table on page 184. Noise and vibrational values (vector sum of three directions) determined according to EN 60745. The vibration level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with anoth- er. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap- plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig- nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat- terns. Mounting and Operation The following table indicates the action objectives for mounting and operation of the power tool. The instructions for each action objective are shown aside. Depending on the type of application, various instruction combinations are required. Observe the safety instructions.
