User manual BOSCH GWS 24-230 JBV

[. . . ] 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. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. E) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. [. . . ] A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. 16 Bolt hole 17 Positioning pin/mark 18 Lead for the parallel guide 19 Locking screw for parallel guide* 20 Parallel guide with circle cutter* 21 Centring tip of the parallel guide* Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. While reading the operating instructions, unfold the graphics page for the machine and leave it open. Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 83 dB(A); Sound power level 94 dB(A). The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. 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. The splinter guard can only be used for certain saw blade types and only for cutting angles of 0°. When sawing with the splinter guard, the base plate 7 must not be moved back for cuts that are close to the edge. The optimal orbital action setting for the respective application can be determined through practical testing. The following recommendations apply: ­ Select a lower orbital action setting (or switch it off) for a finer and cleaner cutting edge. ­ For soft materials and when sawing in the direction of the grain, work with maximum orbital action. Adjusting the Cutting Angle (see figure C) The base plate 7 can be swivelled by 45° to the left or right for mitre cuts. ­ Loosen the screw 14 and lightly slide the base plate 7 in the direction of the saw blade 9. Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Offsetting the Base Plate (see figure D) For sawing close to edges, the base plate 7 can be offset to the rear. [. . . ] Presetting the Stroke Rate (GST 85 PE) With the thumbwheel for stroke rate preselection 2, the stroke rate can be preset and changed during operation. 1­2: Low stroke rate 3­4: Medium stroke rate 5­6: High stroke rate The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the working conditions and can be determined by a practical trial. Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw blade engages in the material as well as when sawing plastic and aluminium. After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the machine can heat up considerably. [. . . ]
