Additional Safety Warnings - Bosch GTS1041A Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and
other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.
PROTECTION:
Eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE SPIN-
NING TOOL, DO NOT WEAR:
• LOOSE FITTING GLOVES
• LOOSE CLOTHING
• NECKTIE, JEWELRY
DO:
• TIE BACK LONG HAIR
• ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunction-
ing, has been damaged or broken, such as the
motor switch, or other operating control, a safe-
ty device or the power cord cease operating
immediately until the particular part is properly
repaired or replaced.
b. The injury mitigation system requires contact
with the operator's body in order to react. This
will cause some injury to be sustained if the
contact occurs. The best defense against in-
jury remains the knowledge of how to safely
operate the saw contained within this manual
and the operator's attention to the cutting op-
eration underway.
c. Be aware of the status indicator lights. Do not
use the tool unless you understand it is safe to use.
d. Wear safety goggles and a face shield if op-
eration is dusty. Wear ear plugs or muffs dur-
ing extended periods of operation. Small loose
pieces of wood or other objects that contact
the rear of the rotating blade can be thrown
back at the operator at excessive speed. This
can usually be avoided by keeping the guard
and riving knife in place for all "THROUGH-
CUTTING" operations (cutting entirely through
the work) AND by removing all loose pieces
from the table with a long stick of wood IMME-
DIATELY after they are cutoff.
e. Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for cutting, dadoing or rabbeting —
replace the guard as soon as that operation is
completed.
f. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the

reason. Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where sudden slip could cause fin-
gers or hand to move into a saw blade or other
cutting tool. Even with the injury mitigation sys-
tem engaged, these actions can lead to your
hand or arms being forced into the blade at
high speeds. A significant injury is likely under
these conditions.
