Bosch 1613AEVS User Manual

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
“ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a
periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.

Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.

Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted. 

When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.  Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator. 

or other blind areas where electrical wiring
may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses
or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the
tool to jump and damage the bit.

Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface. Clamping the material and guiding
the tool with both hands is safer. 
Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...
Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask.  Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in
safe environment reduces risk of injury.

After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment device can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,
loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged
in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the
cutter.  
Always hold the tool with two hands during
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
When routing or cutting, the direction of
feed with the bit’s cutting edge into the
material is very important.  Always feed the
bit into the material in the same direction
as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material (which is the same direction as the
chips are thrown). NOTE: inside and outside
cuts will require different feed direction, refer to
section on feeding the router. Feeding the tool
in the wrong direction, causes the cutting edge
of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the
tool in the direction of this feed.
