General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all in-

structions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-

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)

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or

dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

 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

 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.

 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 inju-

 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.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

 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

 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.

Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 0LU | (1.8.14)

 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 Circular Saws

 DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the

blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or

motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they

cannot be cut by the blade.

 Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard can-

not protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

 Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-

piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be

visible below the workpiece.

 Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your

leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is im-

portant to support the work properly to minimize body ex-

posure, blade binding, or loss of control.

 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces on-

ly, when performing an operation where the cutting

tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact

with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the

power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric

 When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the

chance of blade binding.

 Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-

mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not

match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentri-

cally, causing loss of control.

 Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.

The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for

your saw, for optimum performance and safety of opera-

 Kickback causes and related warnings

– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or

misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift

up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf

closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction

drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,

the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top

surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the

kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect oper-

ating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by tak-

ing proper precautions as given below.

 Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and po-

sition your arms to resist kickback forces. Position

your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with

the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump back-

wards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the opera-

tor, if proper precautions are taken.

 When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw mo-

tionless in the material until the blade comes to a com-

plete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the

work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in mo-

tion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-

tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

 When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw

blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not en-

gaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may

walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is re-

 Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade

pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under

their own weight. Supports must be placed under the pan-

el on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of

properly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive

friction, blade binding and kickback.

 Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be

tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

 Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or

other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects

that can cause kickback.

Lower guard function

 Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.

Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move

freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower

guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally

dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard

with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely

and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles

 Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the

guard and the spring are not operating properly, they

must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate

sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a

 The lower guard may be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as “plunge cuts and angle cuts”. Raise

the lower guard by retracting the handle and as soon as

the blade enters the material, release the lower guard.

For all other sawing operations, the lower guard should op-

erate automatically.

 Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An un-

protected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk back-

wards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time

it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

Additional safety warnings

 Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They

could be injured by rotating parts.

 Do not work overhead with the saw. In this manner you

do not have sufficient control over the power tool.

OBJ_BUCH-2175-001.book Page 15 Friday, August 1, 2014 2:12 PM16 | English 1 609 92A 0LU | (1.8.14) Bosch Power Tools  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.

 Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not de-

signed for operation with a saw table.

 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw

blades can easily break.

 Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips can ignite the

 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.

 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.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine

and ventilation slots clean.

The retracting blade guard must always be able to move freely

and retract automatically. Therefore, always keep the area

around the retracting blade guard clean. Remove dust and

chips by blowing out with compressed air or with a brush.

Saw blades that are not coated can be protected against cor-

rosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil. Before use, the oil must

be removed again, otherwise the wood will become soiled.

Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produces poor cuts.

Therefore, clean the saw blade immediately after use.

If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to

be done by Bosch or an authorized Bosch service agent in or-

der to avoid a safety hazard.
