General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

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) power tool.

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 or 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 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pow-

er 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 energizing 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.

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.

Tuckpoint-Grinder-Specific Safety Warnings

a) The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
g) 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.

h) The arbor size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test time.
j) 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 protection 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.
k) 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

wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

I) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

This power tool is intended primarily for tuckpointing applications and some small abrasive masonry cut off applications. 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.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating 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 accessory'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 kickout. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on 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.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always 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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h) 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.

i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces 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.

j) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) 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 fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

Do not attempt to cut large stock or sheets of metal as this machine is not designed to be a dedicated cut-off machine.

Do not use type 1 abrasive wheels designed for straight grinding.

Additional Safety Warnings

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Do not use AC-only-rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,
  • Crystalline silica from bricks and cer and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Tuckpointing Guard

WARNING Tuckpointing guard must be attached when using abrasive wheels including Diamond wheels. Always keep guard between you and your work while operating this tool.

Position the guard such that the dust port does not interfere with the On/Off switch.

The GWS13-52TG can only be used with the tuckpointing guard provided.

Slide On-Off Switch With Lock

WARNING Hold the tool with both hands while starting the tool, since torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.

The tool is switched "ON" by the switch button located at the side of the motor housing. The switch can be locked in the "ON" position, a convenience for long grinding operations.

TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" without locking it, slide the switch button forward by applying pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the button. When pressure is released the switch button will snap to "OFF" position.

TO LOCK THE SWITCH "ON", slide the switch button forward and press "IN" the FRONT portion.

TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press and release the REAR portion of the button. Switch is spring loaded and will snap back automatically.

Start the tool before applying to work and let the tool come to full speed before contacting the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the

switch "ON" and "OFF" while the tool is under load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.

Dust Extraction

WARNING This tool must only be used with a dust extraction system. Always wear approved dust mask.

Your tool is equipped with a dust port for dust extraction. To use this feature, insert adapter into dust port (Fig. 2), then insert vacuum hose (optional accessory) into the adapter and connect the opposite end of the hose to a shop vacuum cleaner.

Always make sure the vacuum cleaner that you use is designed for extraction of masonry dust.

Auxiliary Handle

The auxiliary handle, used to guide and balance the tool can be bolted to either side of the spindle housing depending on personal preference and comfort. Always use the auxiliary handle for maximum control and ease of operation.

Tuckpointing

This tool is intended to be used as a tuckpointer. It is used to remove deteriorating mortar joints so that they can be replaced with new mortar.

For best tuckpointing results use 1/4" thick dry diamond segmented wheel.

Fig. 6

Line drawing of a hand using a handheld device to adjust or install a component, set against a brick wall background (no text or symbols)

Use the adjustable depth stop to obtain the desired depth of mortar removal. The tuck-pointer is held with the guard window facing upward so that the user can easily see the joint during operation.

Allow the tool to reach full speed before applying it to the workpiece surface.

Hold the tool with both hands and apply the abrasive wheel to the mortar surface.

Diamond Wheels

WARNING

Do not use water when cutting with this tool.

The tool is not designed for water and electric shock may occur.

CAUTION

If this tuckpointer is being used as a small abrasive

cutoff machine, the tool is only approved for cutting or scoring masonry products like:

Concrete, cinder blocks, bricks, and stone.

Use Type 41/1A dry diamond wheels for cutting masonry and concrete. Dry diamond wheels stay cooler, clog less and last longer.

1. Before running a cut-off machine, inspect the cutting wheel for chips or cracks. Replace bad wheels immediately. New wheels should be run in at no load for at least a minute in the direction away from the presence of other people. Imperfect wheels will normally break apart during this time.
2. An abrasive cut-off machine must NEVER be operated without the attached guard securely in place. The guard should be rotated into the position where maximum protection is provided for the operator from sparks and wheel periphery.
3. Proper apparel for operating the tool includes eye protection, leather gloves and dust mask.
4. With the tool in the "OFF" position, become familiar with handling the tool. Control the head of the tool with the side handle. Control the cutting edge of the wheel with the switch handle. Always use both hands when operating the tool.
5. Never drop the tool. Set the tool down gently, but never on the wheel.
6. CUTTING CONCRETE will throw large amounts of dust into the surrounding area. Protective dust masks are required for breathing protection for the operator and other nearby workers.
7. It is not recommended to use this tool overhead or in any position that would not allow

proper control. Ladders are not considered solid support structures.

1. Avoid overloading tool. Do not allow the wheel to bind or stall. Many cuts, especially into solid concrete, require successive passes. Do not expose any more abrasive wheel than necessary to cut with normal amount of pressure applied to tool. Begin cutting from the edge of the material, only plunging to a depth of one diamond wheel segment. Cutting too deeply at one time does not allow dust to clear fully and erodes /thins body of wheel. Do not force the tool; load it normally. Depending on material hardness and density, make successively deeper passes until cut is complete.

Constant Response Circuitry

The internal electronic feedback system provides a “soft start”, which will reduce the stresses that occur from a high torque start. The system also helps to keep the no load speed virtually constant between no-load and load conditions.

Overload Protection

Your tool is equipped with overload protection to protect the motor. If the tool stops during operation TURN OFF SWITCH IMMEDIATELY and allow the motor to cool for about 30 seconds by running at no-load. If the overload protection stops the tool repeatedly, excessive force is causing the tool to overload. Don't press so hard and let the tool do the work.

Maintenance
