Do not expose power tools to rain
u
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
u
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating a power tool out-
u
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
u
location is unavoidable, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are do-
u
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of in-
attention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equip-
u
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used
Bosch Power Tools
for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
u
sure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key or
u
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
u
footing and balance at all times,
never run. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
u
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Always wear substantial foot-
wear and long trousers while operat-
ing the power tool.
If devices are provided for the con-
u
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
