Additional safety information

• Store the power tool safely when it is not in use. The storage location must be dry and lockable. This prevents the power tool from storage damage, and from being operated by untrained persons.

• Always firmly clamp the workpiece into place. Do not carry out work on workpieces that are too small to be clamped. Otherwise, the distance between your hand and the rotating cutting disc will be too small.

• Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable repaired only by an authorised customer service agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged extension cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

• Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries may occur if the power tool tips over or if you inadvertently come into contact with the saw blade.

• Always use the protective guard. The protective guard protects users from any parts that break off from the cutting disc and prevents unintentional contact with the cutting disc.

• Do not brake the cutting disc to a stop by applying side pressure after switching the power tool off. The cutting disc can be damaged, break or cause kickback.

• Never leave the tool unattended before it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause injuries.

• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

• Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

• Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the power tool against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

• Connect the power tool to a mains supply that is properly connected to earth. The socket and extension cable must have a fully functioning protective conductor.

Products sold in GB only:

Your product is fitted with an 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.
