Additional Safety Warnings - Bosch GWS12V-30 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings
and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
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.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool
since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may
be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Use only Bosch BAT414 or the batteries
listed in the battery /charger list. Using
other types of batteries may result in
personal injury or property damage.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Always inspect accessories for damage
(breakage, cracks) before each use. Never
use if damage is suspected.

Additional Safety Warnings

Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Do not use type 1 abrasive wheels designed
for straight grinding.
Do not attempt to cut large stock or sheets
of metal as this machine is not designed to
be a dedicated cut-off machine.
Do not use vacuum or other dust collection
system when cutting metal. Sparks from
metal cutting can cause fire in the collector.
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,
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 filter out microscopic particles.
