Bosch Power Tools 1529B manual Extension Cords, Double Insulated Tools, Operating the Tool

•Wear leather gloves to protect hands from sharp metal edges and safety shoes to protect feet from sharp metal pieces.

•Periodically check tool fasteners for loose- ness, tighten as required.

•Do not cut material greater than the rated capacity of the nibbler.

•Secure the material being cut. Never hold small pieces in your hand or across legs.

•Do not use dull or damaged punch and dies or accessories not intended for a nibbler. Replace worn punches and dies immediately.

•Do not touch punch and die during use of the nibbler.

•Never place the tool down until the punch has come to a complete stop.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, de- pending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

a qualified service technician. WHEN SER-

VICE IS REQUIRED USE ONLY IDENTI- CAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

POLARIZED PLUGS: If your tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not change the plug in any way.

Extension Cords

•Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.

•If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and amperage rating on the tool’s nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

		Ampere Rating (shown on nameplate)
		0-	2.1-	3.5-	5.1-	7.1-	12.1-
		2.0	3.4	5.0	7.0	12.0	16.0
Length	25'	18	18	18	18	16	14
	75'	18	18	16	14	12	10
Cord	50'	18	18	16	16	14	12
	100'	18	16	14	12	10
	150'	16	14	12	12	Wire Gauge

Note: The smaller the gauge number, the larger the wire is in the cord.

"SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS"

Double Insulated Tools

•Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by

Operating the Tool

General Information

Following a few simple tips will reduce wear on the tool and the chance of injury to the user.

With the tool unplugged from the power supply and the ON/OFF Switch 1 in the “OFF” posi- tion, become familiar with handling the nibbler and learning the location of its parts.
