General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all in-

structions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

 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

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

 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

 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 exten-

sion 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 unavoid-

able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected

supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

 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 op-

erating 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 inju-

 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 en-

ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-

tating 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 jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

 If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-

nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce 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 bind-

ing 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

Bosch Power Tools 2 609 006 972 | (27.11.13)

 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 ac-

cordance 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.

 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-

son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-

sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Angle Grinder

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire

Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off Operations

 This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety warn-

ings, instructions, illustrations and specifications pro-

vided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-

tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or

 Operations such as polishing are not recommended to

be performed with this power tool. 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 de-

signed 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 accessory must be at least equal

to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Ac-

cessories running faster than their rated speed can break

 The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-

sory must be within the capacity rating of your power

tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately

guarded or controlled.

 Threaded mounting of accessories must match the

grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by

flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the

locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not

match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out

of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of con-

 Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-

spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips

and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess

wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power

tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or in-

stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and in-

stalling 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 min-

ute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during

 Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-

tectors, 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

 Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.

Anyone entering the work area must wear personal

protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a

broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond

immediate area of operation.

 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces on-

ly, when performing an operation where the cutting ac-

cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-

ting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the op-

erator an electric shock.

 Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you

lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand

or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.

 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.

 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 the dust inside the housing and excessive ac-

cumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical haz-

 Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Sparks could ignite these materials.

 Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Us-

ing water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocu-

Kickback and related warnings

 Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged ro-

tating wheel, backing pad, 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 of the accesso-

ry’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by

the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into

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 direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinch-

ing. Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoid-

ed by taking proper precautions as given below.

OBJ_BUCH-1961-003.book Page 17 Wednesday, November 27, 2013 3:12 PM18 | English

2 609 006 972 | (27.11.13) Bosch Power Tools

 Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your

body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Al-

ways use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum

control over kickback or torque reaction during

start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or

kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

 Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Ac-

cessory may kickback over your hand.

 Do not position your body in the area where power tool

will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the

tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the

 Use special care when working corners, sharp edges,

etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Cor-

ners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the

rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

 Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or

toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback

and loss of control.

Safety warnings specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cut-

 Use only wheel types that are recommended for your

power tool and the specific guard designed for the se-

lected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not de-

signed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

 The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels

must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An

improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane

of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

 The guard must be securely attached to the power tool

and positioned for maximum safety, so the least

amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The

guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel frag-

ments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that

could ignite clothing.

 Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-

tions. For example: do not grind with the side of the

cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels

may cause them to shatter.

 Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-

rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper

wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possi-

bility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be

different from grinding wheel flanges.

 Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger

power tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are

not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may

Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting

 Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and suscep-

tibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the

possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

 Do not position your body in line with and behind the

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,

is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may

propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at

 When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the pow-

er tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete

stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from

the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback

may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to elimi-

nate the cause of wheel binding.

 Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter

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 work-

pieces 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.

 Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into ex-

isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel

may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that

Safety warnings specific for sanding operations

 Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.

Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-

ing sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending be-

yond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and

may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.

Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations

 Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the

wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire

bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

 If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,

do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or

brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in

diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety warnings

Wear safety goggles.

 Use suitable 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 explo-

sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or

may cause an electric shock.

 Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position

when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of a

power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This pre-

vents uncontrolled restarting.

The best roughing results are achieved when setting the ma-

chine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and

forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece

will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves

With the flap disc (accessory), curved surfaces and profiles

Flap discs have a considerably higher service life, lower noise

levels and lower sanding temperatures than conventional

 For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the pro-

tection guard for cutting 12.

When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the mate-

rial being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc, tilt

or oscillate the machine.

Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by ap-

plying sideward pressure.

The machine must al-

grinding motion. Other-

wise, the danger exists

of it being pushed un-

 Provide for sufficient dust extraction when cutting

 Wear a dust respirator.

 The machine may be used only for dry cutting/grinding.

For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.

When using the cutting guide with dust extraction protection

guard 19, the vacuum cleaner must be approved for vacuum-

ing masonry dust. Suitable vacuum cleaners are available

Switch on the machine

and place the front part

of the cutting guide on

the workpiece. Slide the

machine with moderate

feed, adapted to the ma-

terial to be worked.

For cutting expecially hard material, e. g., concrete with high

pebble content, the diamond cutting disc can overheat and

become damaged as a result. This is clearly indicated by cir-

cular sparking, rotating with the diamond cutting disc.

In this case, interrupt the cutting process and allow the dia-

mond cutting disc to cool by running the machine for a short

time at maximum speed with no load.

Noticeable decreasing work progress and circular sparking

are indications of a diamond cutting disc that has become

dull. Briefly cutting into abrasive material (e. g. lime-sand

brick) can resharpen the disc again.

Information on Structures

Slots in structural walls are subject to the Standard DIN 1053

Part 1, or country-specific regulations.

These regulations are to be observed under all circumstanc-

es. Before beginning work, consult the responsible structural

engineer, architect or the construction supervisor.

far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently

and install a residual current device (RCD). When work-

ing metals, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the

power tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be im-
