Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power tool is 71dB(A). Uncertainty K=3dB. The noise level when working can exceed the volume stated. Wear hearing pro- tection!

(triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN62841‑2‑8:

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com- pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions. The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres- ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different ap- plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 6N6 | (08.12.2021)12 | English increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper- ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly. Assembly Battery Charging u Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your power tool. Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before using your power tool for the first time. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates. u Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the power tool has automatically switched off. The battery can be damaged. Removing the battery The battery(1) is equipped with two locking levels to pre- vent the battery from falling out if the battery release button(2) is pressed unintentionally. As long as the battery is inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a spring. To remove the battery(1), press the battery release button(2) and pull the battery out of the power tool. Do not use force to do this. Battery charge indicator The green LEDs on the battery charge indicator indicate the state of charge of the battery. For safety reasons, it is only possible to check the state of charge when the power tool is not in operation. Press the button for the battery charge indicator or to show the state of charge. This is also possible when the bat- tery is removed. If no LED lights up after pressing the button for the battery charge indicator, then the battery is defective and must be replaced.

Switching On and Off To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch(3) for- wards so that I appears on the switch. To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch(3) backwards so that 0 appears on the switch. Working Advice u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry- ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re- moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch. u This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use. It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work- bench, for example. u Wear protective gloves during work. Make sure that cut sheet parts are not bent towards your body. Sharp burrs develop on cut sheets; these can cause injury. When necessary and while wearing gloves, press bending sheet parts away from your body. Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. 1 609 92A 6N6 | (08.12.2021) Bosch Power ToolsEnglish | 13 80–90° Guide the power tool at an angle of 80° to 90° to the surface of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side. Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool will significantly reduce the service life of application tools and can damage the power tool. When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat- erally and work with low feed rate only. Maximum steel sheet cutting capacity The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d max depends on the strength properties of the material to be cut. The power tool allows for cutting of metal sheet to the follow- ing thicknesses: Material max. strength (N/mm

Adjusting cutter clearance "a" The cutter clearancea (gap between the cutters) depends on the sheet thickness
