 Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
 Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
 Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.

Safety Warnings for All-Purpose Saws

 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory 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.
 Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
 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, the base plate 2 must always faces
against the workpiece. The saw blade can become
wedged and lead to loss of control over the machine.
 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.
 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.
 Provide for good footing at all times when operating
the power tool, especially when using it on steps or lad-
ders. Slippery or unstable surfaces can cause you to lose
your balance or control over the power tool.
 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.

 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.
 The chain of the saw blade can rip if subjected to exces-
sive strain. In this case, change the tool/saw blade.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and mois-
ture. Danger of explosion.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irri-
tate the respiratory system.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch
power tool. This measure alone protects the battery
against dangerous overload.
 The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as
nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An
internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
