Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained 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 accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Always hold the tools with both hands while starting. Torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist and slip from your hands.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
If devices are provided for the connection to dust collection and extraction systems, be sure these are connected and used according to tool and vacuum instructions.
Proper use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust collection and extraction systems, empty the dust container before beginning work, frequently during work, after completion of work, and before storing the tool. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particles form may be explosive.
Do not throw dust on an open fire.
Combustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles can occur if there is a static discharge, electric spark, or excessive heat.
Do not use dust extraction for operations where dust may include burning, smoking or smoldering items like hot ashes or sparks. Fire inside the vacuum tank or bag may occur. Dust may smolder and set vacuum on fire long after work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings, cleaners, or
Do not use dust extraction when working on metal. Swarf from sanding, grinding or cutting metal may be hot and may spark which may melt plastic adaptors, vacuum hoses and may cause a fire inside the vacuum tank or bag.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Preventative maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
