Bosch GBM 1600 RE Professional Manual Original página 11

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Drills
Safety instructions for all operations
Use auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause per-
u
sonal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
u
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
u
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is
likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contact-
ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip
u
in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit
is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contact-
ing the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do
u
not apply excessive pressure.Bits can bend causing
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Switch the power tool off immediately if the applica-
u
tion tool becomes blocked. Be prepared for high
torque reactions which cause kickback. The applica-
tion tool becomes blocked when it becomes jammed in
the workpiece or when the power tool becomes over-
loaded.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
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 or may cause an electric shock.
Bosch Power Tools
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
