Specific Safety Rules - Bosch 0 607 561 114 Manual

Keep the tool bits clean. Well cared for tool bits are
easier to use and can be controlled better.
Use the air tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of air
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the air tool
Avoid contact with a live wire. The
tool is not insulated and contact with
a live wire may result in electric shock.
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock. Damaging a gas line can result in an explosion.
Penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage
or an electrical shock.
When removing a saw blade, avoid contact with
skin and use proper protective gloves when
grasping the blade or accessory. Saw blades and
accessories may become hot during prolonged use.
Never use bent or damaged saw blades. Bent or
dull saw blades may break or kick back.
When you install the saw blade, insure that the
saw blade is seated in the groove of the roller
guide. The grooved roller keeps the saw blade held
securely in the tool.
Check that the saw blades are seated firmly in
the tool before you connect the tool to the air
supply. Saw blades that are not clamped properly in
the appropriate holder may slip out and can cause
damage to the workpiece or injury to you or others.
Position the tool on the workpiece only when the
tool is switched on. Otherwise, there is the danger
of a kickback when the teeth bind in the workpiece.
Keep your hands away from the cutting area. Do
not reach underneath the workpiece. Contact
with the saw blade may result in injury.

2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

AIR JIGSAW SAFETY
English–2
for operations different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your air tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the air tool is maintained.
Take care during cutting to insure that the foot-
plate 10 lies completely on the workpiece. A foot-
plate that does not lie completely on the surface may
result in breakage of the saw blade.
After cutting has been completed, switch off the
air tool and withdraw the saw blade from the cut
only when the saw blade has come to a complete
stop. In this way, you avoid a kickback and can put
down the air tool safely.
Do not brake the saw blade by applying side
pressure against it after the tool is switched off.
The saw blade may be damaged, may break, or may
kick back.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction ac-
tivities contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, 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, depending 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 fil-
ter out microscopic particles.
