Working safely with this machine is
possible only when the operating
and safety information are read
completely and the instructions
contained therein are strictly fol-
lowed.
In addition, the general safety
notes in the enclosed booklet must
be observed.
Before using for the first time, ask
for a practical demonstration.
■
If the cable is damaged or cut through while work-
ing, do not touch the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable.
■
Connect machines that are used in the open via a
residual current device (RCD) with an actuating
current of 30 mA maximum. Do not operate the
machine in rain or moisture.
■
Wear safety glasses.
■
Working with material containing asbestos is not
permitted.
■
Always direct the cable to the rear away from the
machine.
■
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more se-
cure than by hand.
■
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
■
When working, never place a hand or fingers in
front of the saw blade.
■
The cutting path must be free of obstacles both
above and below.
■
When sawing, the complete surface of the base
plate
6
must be in secure contact.
■
For the working of smaller or thin workpieces, use
a stable foundation or a saw table (accessory).
■
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Replace im-
mediately cracked, bent or dull saw blades.
■
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 (danger of kick-back).
■
Always switch the machine off and wait until it has
come to a standstill before placing it down.
■
After switching off, do not brake the saw blade to a
stop by applying side pressure.
■
Never allow children to use the machine.
■
Bosch is able to ensure flawless functioning of the
machine only if the original accessories intended
for it are used.
■
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
■
For inserting or changing the saw blade
11
, the
wearing of protective gloves is recommended.
Inserting the Saw Blade
Insert the saw blade (teeth in the cutting direction) into
the stroke rod
14
until it latches. The SDS clamping
lever
9
springs to the rear and locks the saw blade.
Take care when inserting the saw blade that the rear
edge of the saw blade rests in the groove of the guide
roller
10
.
Ejecting the Saw Blade
To eject the saw blade, turn the SDS lever
9
to the
front in the insertion position. The saw blade is re-
leased and ejected.
■
Dust produced while working can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protec-
tion measures are required.
Examples: Some dusts are considered to be carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and
wear a dust protection mask.
■
Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep
the work place clean since material mixtures are
especially dangerous.
Cover Guard
When using a vacuum cleaner, always mount the dust
cover
13
and slide it completely downward.
Attaching:
Insert the cover guard from above into
the guide and slide downward until it
latches.
Removing:
Take hold of the cover guard on the sides
and pull off in the upward direction.
Connection for a Vacuum Cleaner
(Accessory pages)
Connect the vacuuming hose (19 mm dia., accessory)
directly to the blow-out opening
4
.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material
to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimen-
tal to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum
cleaner.
