Safety Notes

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

When using electric tools basic

safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury including the
following.

Read all these instructions before attempting
to operate this product and save these instruc­tions.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-

tered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool. Distrac-

tions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia­tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for out­door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-

door use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec­tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat­tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-

fore turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal in­jury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unex­pected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connec-

tion of dust extraction and collection fa­cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-

rect power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de­signed.

b) 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.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-

ment 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-

erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.

g) 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.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-

ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Diamond Drills

f Hold the power tool only by the insulated

gripping surfaces of the drill stand when
performing operations where the applica­tion tool could contact hidden wiring or its
own power cord. Contact with a “live” wire

will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and shock the operator.

f Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-

ty lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company 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 damage or may cause an
electric shock.

Never operate the machine with­out the residual current device
(RCD) provided.

f Before starting work, check the proper func-

tion of the residual current device (RCD).
Have a damaged residual current device
(RCD) repaired or replaced by your Bosch
after-sales service agent.

f Pay attention that neither persons in the

working area nor the power tool itself come
into contact with the water that comes out.

f Pay attention that water-conducting hoses,

connnection elements and the water collec­tion ring (accessory) are in proper condi­tion. Replace damaged or worn parts before
using the next time. Water coming out of

power tool components increases the risk of
electric shock.

f Store the machine in a safe manner when

not being used. The storage location must
be dry and lockable. This prevents the ma-

chine from storage damage, and from being
operated by untrained persons.

f Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil

and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery

causing loss of control.

f Never use the machine with a damaged

cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam­aged while working. Damaged cables

increase the risk of an electric shock.

f Check the cable regularly and have a dam-

aged cable repaired only through an author­ised customer service agent for Bosch power
tools. Replace damaged extension cables.

This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

f Wear non-skid shoes. This prevents injuries

that can occur from slipping on smooth sur­faces.

f Use only original Bosch accessories.
f The safety and operating instructions for

the drill stand and the accessories being
used are to be strictly observed!

f Never leave the machine before it has come

to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are

still running can cause injuries.

f Connect the machine to a mains supply with

proper earthing connection. Socket outlet

and extension cable must be equipped with
an operative protective conductor.

f Products sold in GB only: Your product is fit-

ted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug
with internal fuse (ASTA approved to
BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket out­lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place by an authorised cus­tomer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the origi­nal plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should nev­er be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a re­sidual current device (RCD) with a rated re­sidual current of 30 mA or less.

Technical Data

Noise/Vibration Information

Measured sound values determined according
to EN 61029.

Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the
product are: Sound pressure level 89 dB(A);
Sound power level 100 dB(A). Uncertainty
K=3dB.

Wear hearing protection!

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter­mined according to EN 61029:
Vibration emission value a

h

=3m/s2, Uncer-

tainty K = 1.5 m/s

2

.

The vibration emission level given in this infor­mation sheet has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 61029 and
may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration emission level repre­sents the main applications of the tool. However
if the tool is used for different applications, with
different accessories or poorly maintained, the
vibration emission may differ. This may signifi­cantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra­tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run­ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig­nificantly reduce the exposure level over the to­tal working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such
as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
