Work area safety

  • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. ▶ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. ▶ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

▶ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. ▶ 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. ▶ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. ▶ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. ▶ If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. ▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. ▶ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. ▶ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Straight Grinders

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. This power tool is not recommended for sandpaper grinding, wire brushing, polishing and abrasive cut-off operations. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. The rated speed of the grinding accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories rotating faster than their permitted speed can break and fly around. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled. The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. Mandrel-mounted wheels, grinding cylinders, cutting tools or other accessories must be inserted fully into the collet or chuck. The "protrusion" or exposed part of the mandrel between grinding accessory and collet or chuck must be minimal. If the mandrel is not sufficiently clamped or the grinding accessory is too far forward, the accessory may become loose and be ejected at great speed. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protec-

tion must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist. If possible, use clamps to fix the workpiece. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand while operating the power tool in the other. Clamping small workpieces gives you both hands free to better control the power tool. Round workpieces such as wooden dowels, bars, or pipes tend to roll away when being cut, which can cause the accessory to jam and be hurled towards you. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. After changing bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck, or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, and loose rotating components will be violently thrown. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw dust inside the housing, and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, bell, brush, or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory, which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite to the accessory's rotation.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material, causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending

on the direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

  • Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. ▶ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. ▶ Do not use a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control over the power tool. ▶ Always feed the accessory into the material in the same direction in which the cutting edge exits the material (the same direction in which the chips are ejected). Feeding the power tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the accessory to run out of the workpiece, which causes the power tool to be pulled in this feed direction. ▶ Always clamp the workpiece securely when using rotating files. These accessories snag in the groove even upon slight tilting and can cause kickback. If rotating files snag, the accessory can jump out of the groove and lead to loss of control over the power tool.

Additional safety instructions for grinding

Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

Additional safety warnings

Wear safety goggles.BOSCH GGS 18 V-LI Professional - Additional safety warnings - 1

▶ Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage. ▶ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

The power tool is not suitable for stationary operation. For example, it may not be clamped in a vice or fastened on a workbench. ▶ Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.

BOSCH GGS 18 V-LI Professional - Additional safety warnings - 2

Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system. ▶ Use the battery only in conjunction with your Bosch product. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload. The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Noise/Vibration Information

Sound emission values determined according to EN 60745-2-23.

Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 77 dB(A); Sound power level 88 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB.

Wear hearing protection!

Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and Uncertainty K determined according to EN 60745:

Surface grinding (with wheel diameter of 25 mm): a1 = 3.5m / s2,K = 1.5m / s2

The vibration 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. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. 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 insertion tools, or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration, such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, and organise work patterns.

When no LED lights up after pushing button 9, then the battery is defective and must be replaced.

Mounting the Grinding Tools (see figure B)

Before any work on the machine itself (e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, remove the battery from the power tool. There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch. ▶ Only use properly fitting and undamaged open-end spanners (see "Technical Data"). - Clean the grinder spindle 3 and all parts to be mounted. - Hold the grinder spindle 3 with open-end spanner 11 by the spanner flats. Loosen the clamping nut 2 with open-end spanner 12 by applying it to the spanner flats and turning in anticlockwise direction. - Insert the clamping shaft of the grinding tool to the stop into the collet chuck 1. - Hold the grinder spindle 3 firmly with open-end spanner 11 and clamp the tool bit with open-end spanner 12 by the spanner flats, turning in clockwise direction.

The grinding tools must run completely concentrical. Do not continue to use out-of-round grinding accessories, instead, replace before continuing to work.

▶ Do not tighten the collet chuck of the clamping nut as long as no grinding accessory is mounted. Otherwise, the collet chuck can become damaged. ▶ Only use grinding points with a matching shank diameter. A grinding point/accessory with a shank diameter that does not fit the tool holder (see "Technical Data"), can not be clamped properly and will damage the collet chuck. The application tool must be clamped at least 10 mm. The inner shank dimension Lg can be used to calculate the maximum permitted speed of the application tool from the specifications provided by manufacturer of the application tool. It must not be less than the maximum speed of the power tool.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals, and metal can be harmful to 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 carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. - Provide for good ventilation of the working place. - It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked. ▶ Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can easily ignite.

Operation

Starting Operation

Inserting the battery

▶ Use only original Bosch lithium-ion batteries with the voltage listed on the nameplate of your power tool. Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.

Insert the charged battery 7 into the base of the power tool until the battery is securely locked.

Switching On and Off

To start the power tool, push the On/Off switch 5 forwards. To lock the On/Off switch 5, press the On/Off switch 5 down at the front until it latches. To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch 5 or, if it is locked, briefly push down the back of the On/Off switch 5 and then release it. To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Restarting Protection

The restarting protection feature prevents uncontrolled re-starting of the machine after an interruption in the power supply.

To restart the operation, switch the On/Off switch 5 to the Off position and start the machine again.

Note: When switching off and on again very quickly, it is possible that the restarting protection is triggered; this will prevent the power tool from starting, although the On/Off switch 5 is actuated. Set the On/Off switch 5 to the off position, and then switch the power tool on again.

Working Advice

Optimum grinding results are achieved when the grinding tool is moved uniformly back and forth with light pressure. Pressure that is too strong reduces the performance capability of the machine and causes the grinding tool to wear more quickly.

▶ Protect the abrasive wheels from impacts.

Charging the battery

Use only the chargers listed on the accessories page. Only these chargers are compatible with the lithium-ion battery used in your power tool.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery power, charge the battery before first use in the charger.

The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without shortening its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off via a protective circuit. The tool used no longer starts.
