Bosch can assure flawless functioning of the
machine only when original accessories are
used.
Become familiar with the instruction manual
before attempting to operate this machine.
Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing, hanging
cords or ties.
Only operate the machine in open space
(e. g. not too close to a wall or other fixed ob-
jects) and on a firm, level surface.
Do not operate the machine on paved or
gravel surface where ejected material could
cause injury.
Before starting the machine, check that all
screws, nuts, bolts and other fasteners are
properly secured and that guards and
screens are in place. Replace damaged or un-
readable warning and operating labels.
Before starting the machine, make certain
that the chute assembly is empty.
Keep your face and body away from the
chute assembly.
Do not allow hands or any other part of the
body or clothing inside the chute assembly,
discharge chute or near any moving part.
Switch off the machine before attaching or
removing the bag.
Keep proper balance and footing at all times.
Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher lev-
el than the base of the machine when feeding
material.
Always stand clear of the discharge zone
when operating the machine.
When feeding material into the machine be
extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not
included.
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign
object or if the machine should start making
any unusual noise or vibration, immediately
switch off and allow the cutter to stop. Re-
move the plug from the mains supply and
take the following steps:
– Inspect for damage.

Do not attempt to repair the machine unless
you are qualified to do so.
Do not allow processed material to build up
in the discharge zone; this may prevent prop-
er discharge which can result in kickback of
material through the chute assembly.
If the machine becomes clogged, switch off
and allow the cutter to stop. Remove the
plug from the mains supply before clearing
debris.
Check if guards and protective devices are
undamaged and properly mounted. Before
using, carry out possibly necessary mainte-
nance and repairs.
Do not tamper with the motor speed control
settings. Contact a Bosch approved service
agent if a problem exists.
Keep the motor cooling vents clean of debris
and other accumulations to prevent damage
to the motor or possible fire.
Never pick up or carry the machine while the
motor is running.
Switch off, allow the cutter to stop and re-
move the plug from the mains supply when-
ever you leave the work area.
Do not tilt the machine while it is running.
Do not expose the machine to rain. Only
store the machine in a dry place.

When the machine is stopped for servicing,
inspection, or storage, or to change an acces-
sory, switch off and remove the plug from the
mains supply and allow the machine to cool.

tions, adjustments, etc.
Maintain the machine with care and keep it
