For Your Safety

Working safely with this machine is possible only when the operating and safety information are read completely and the instructions contained therein are strictly followed. In addition, the

general safety notes in the enclosed booklet must be observed. Before using for the first time, ask for a practical demonstration.

■Wear protective glasses and hearing protection.
■Wear additional protection equipment for your safety, such as protective gloves, sturdy shoes, hard hat and apron.
The dust that is produced while working can be detrimental to health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable safety measures are required. Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and wear a dust respirator.
Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Always keep the workplace clean, as blends of materials are particularly dangerous.

If the mains cable is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cable but immediately pull the mains plug. Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Connect machines that are used in the open via a residual current device (RCD) with an actuating current of 30mA maximum. Do not operate the machine in rain or moisture.
■When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
■Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Always direct the cable to the rear away from the machine.
Always switch the machine off and wait until it has come to a standstill before placing it down.
For power outage or when the mains plug is pulled, unlock the On/Off switch immediately and turn it to the off position. This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
The machine must be used only for dry cutting/ grinding.

■For all work with the machine, the auxiliary handle must be mounted.
■Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may run into hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

■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 or may cause an electric shock.
For work with grinding or cutting discs, the protection guard 7 must be mounted. For work with the rubber sanding plate 21 or with the cup brush 24/disc brush/flap disc, the hand guard 19 (accessory) is to be mounted.
■Use dust extraction when working with stone. The vacuum cleaner must be approved for masonry dust. When cutting stone, use the cutting guide.
■Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
■Use only grinding tools with a permissible speed at least as high as the no-load speed of the machine.
■Check grinding tools before use. The grinding tool must be properly mounted and turn freely. Perform a test run for at least 30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged, out-of-round or vibrating grinding tools.
■Protect the grinding tool from impact, shock and grease.
■Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.
■Keep hands away from rotating grinding tools.
Pay attention to the direction of rotation. Always hold the machine so that sparks and grinding dust fly away from the body.
■When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons are endangered. Due to danger of fire, no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight zone).

■Be careful when cutting grooves, e. g. in structural walls: See Information on Structures.
■Blocking the cutting disc leads to jerking reaction forces on the machine. In this case switch off the machine immediately.
Pay attention to the dimensions of the grinding disc. The mounting hole diameter must fit the mounting flange 10 without play. Do not use reducers or adapters.
■Never use cutting discs for rough grinding. Do not exert any lateral pressure on the cutting discs.
- Observe the manufacturer's instructions for mounting and using grinding tools.
Caution! The grinding tool runs on after the machine is switched off.
■Do not clamp the machine in a vice.
■Never allow children to use the machine.
■ Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation of the machine if the original accessories intended for it are used.

Operating Instructions

■Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary due to its own weight.
■Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.
Grinding and cutting discs become very hot while working; do not touch until they have cooled.

Rough Grinding

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Rough Grinding - 1

The best roughing results are achieved when setting the machine 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 are formed.

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Rough Grinding - 2

Never use a cutting disc for roughing.

Flap Disc

With the flap disc (accessory), curved surfaces and profiles (contour sanding) can be worked.

Flap discs have a considerably higher service life than sanding sheets, lower noise level and lower sanding temperatures.

Cutting

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Cutting - 1

When cutting, do not press, jam or oscillate the machine. Work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being machined.

Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Cutting - 2

The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.

The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore, never move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.

Grinder Stand

With the grinder stand 29 (accessory), workpieces can be cut at angles of 0 to 45^ at the same lengths.

The safety notes and operating instructions in the respective operating instructions manual of the angle grinder are to be strictly observed. Use only original Bosch grinder stands.

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Grinder Stand - 1

Cutting Stone

The machine must be used only for dry cutting/grinding.

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Cutting Stone - 1

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Cutting Stone - 2

It is best to use a diamond cutting disc. As a safety measure against jamming, use the cutting guide 26 with the special dust extraction protection guard.

Operate the machine with dust extraction only. In addition, wear a dust mask.

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Cutting Stone - 3

The vacuum cleaner must be approved for the extraction of masonry dust.

Bosch provides suitable vacuum cleaners.

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 material to be worked (Figure).

For cutting especially 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 circular sparking, rotating with the diamond cutting disc.

In this case, interrupt the cutting process and allow the diamond cutting disc to cool by running freely at no-load speed for a short time.

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 sharpen the disc.

Rotating the Machine Head

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.

BOSCH GWS 21180 JHV Professional - Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. - 1

The machine head can be rotated with respect to the machine housing in 90^ steps. In this manner, the On/Off switch can be brought to an advantageous handling position for special working situations, e.g., for cutting work

with the cutting guide 26/cutting grinder stand 29 (accessory) or for left-handed persons.

Unscrew completely the four screws.

Rotate the machine head carefully and without removing from the housing to the new position.

Screw in the screws again and tighten.
