ty to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the pos-
sibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
 When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
cutting unit motionless until the wheel comes to a com-
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to elim-
inate the cause of wheel binding.
 Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
 Support any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk
of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge
of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
Additional safety warnings
 Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from
being operated by untrained persons.
 Always firmly clamp the workpiece. Do not cut work-
pieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise, the clear-
ance of your hand to the rotating cutting disc is too small.
 Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
 Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable re-
paired only through an authorised customer service
agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
 Always use the blade guard. A blade guard protects the
user against broken off parts of the cutting disc and against
accidental touching of the cutting disc.
 Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause 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.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
