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 Sabre Saws

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting

a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power

tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Do not use the tool with the hook without rubber covers

or with damaged rubber covers. If the rubber covers on

the hook are damaged, replace the hook by a new one.

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.

When sawing without the hook, the guideplate must al-

ways face against the workpiece. The saw blade can be-

come wedged and lead to loss of control over the power

tool.

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.

Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece

with your hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor

with the the saw running. Danger of kickback.

Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines

are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-

pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead

to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to

explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-

age.

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 (e. g. maintenance,

changing the tool, etc.) as well as during its transport

and storage, lock the On/Off switch in the off position.

There is danger of injury when the On/Off switch is unin-

tentionally actuated.

Protect the power tool against heat, e. g.,

against continuous intense sunlight, fire, wa-

ter, and moisture. Danger of explosion.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-

pours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek

medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-

tate the respiratory system.

Safety Warnings for Battery Chargers

Keep the battery charger away from rain or

moisture. Penetration of water in the battery

charger increases the risk of an electric

shock.

Only charge Bosch lithium ion batteries or batteries in-

stalled in Bosch products with the voltages listed in the

technical data. Otherwise there is danger of fire and ex-

plosion.

Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead

to danger of an electric shock.

Before each use, check the battery charger. If damage

is detected, battery charger should be changed to new

one. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have re-

pairs performed only by a qualified technician and only

using original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers,

cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.

Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not

play with the charger.

Children or persons that owing to their physical, senso-

ry or mental limitations or to their lack of experience or

knowledge, are not capable of securely operating the

charger, may only use this charger under supervision

or after having been instructed by a responsible per-

son. Otherwise, there is danger of operating errors and in-

juries.

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 author-

ised 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 sock-

et elsewhere.
