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 seri-

ous 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 an GFCI 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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 remove 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.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F may cause explosion.

Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing, and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 control.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect 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 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 workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection

Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings

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 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 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 could give the operator an electric shock.

Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory 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 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.

Only use Bosch or Bosch licensed X-Lock accessories. Incompatible accessories may not clamp properly resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

Confirm proper clamping by ensuring that top of the accessory flange surface is not above the top of the accessory height gage. Accessories that are above the accessory height gage may not be clamped properly and separate from the tool causing personal injury and/or property damage.

Always inspect accessory mount and accessory clamping flange before use. Do not use the tool or accessory if the accessory mount or accessory is damaged or deformed. Accessories that are not clamped properly may cause personal injury and/or property damage.

Check for presence or buildup of foreign material on tool and accessory clamping surfaces and remove before use. Unwanted material can cause incomplete clamping and may cause personal injury and/or property damage.

Never actuate X-Lock Release Lever while accessory is moving. Make sure that the accessory has come to a complete stop before removing the accessory. Releasing accessory while still spinning could cause personal injury and/or property damage.

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.

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

Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings

torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory 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 point of snagging.

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 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 Cutting-Off Operations

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.

The grinding surface of 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 fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothes.

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. 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.

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 “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Over-stressing 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.

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 you.

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 cut-off 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.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter 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 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.

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.

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

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

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond 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

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.

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

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.

Do not use vacuum or other dust collection system when cutting metal. Sparks from metal cutting can cause fire in the collector.

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 cement 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.

WARNING

Do not use Type 11 abrasive (cup) wheels with this tool. This tool is not designed for use with type 11 (cup) abrasive grinding wheels.

The X-Lock system is a combination of patented tool mount and accessory designs that provide the operator with fast accessory changes. Available on select Bosch angle grinders, X-Lock allows tool free installation and removal of grinder accessories (grinding, cut-off wheels, wire brushes, sanding discs, etc.). The X-Lock system is a replacement for the traditional method of attaching grinder accessories.

Traditional grinders have 5/8"-11 threaded spindles that require a nut and backing flange to hold the accessory in place. To replace an accessory, a wrench is used to loosen or tighten the nut. X-Lock equipped grinders have a tool free interface system, eliminating the spindle, backing flange and lock nut.

The X-Lock interface has a tool component – X-Lock Accessory Mount, and an accessory component – typically an Accessory X-Lock Mounting Hub. The two components have keyed alignment contours, which help to ensure correct assembly of accessory to tool.

The X-Lock Accessory Mount consists of a round base, clamping height gages and locking mechanism, which activates the clamping tabs. X-Lock equipped grinders can only use X-Lock accessories since the specially designed X-Lock Mounting Hub matches the contours of the X-Lock Accessory Mount on the tool (See figure 2). However, select X-Lock accessories are backward compatible with the traditional threaded spindle design.

Attachment of the X-Lock accessory to the X-Lock Accessory Mount on the grinder requires alignment of the mounting hub with the accessory mounting mechanism. Once the Accessory X-Lock Mounting Hub is aligned, and pressed against the base of the X-Lock Accessory Mount, the locking mechanism is activated. This causes the two opposing clamping tabs to lock the accessory to the grinder. An audible ‘click’ in combination with the alignment of the flat surface of the Accessory X-Lock Mounting hub with the Clamping Height Gages means the accessory is firmly attached to the tool. To remove the accessory, a lever on the grinder gearhead is actuated which will release the locking tabs, allowing the accessory to be detached from the tool. (Fig. 3)

Brake Operation

WARNING

Let the grinder accessory come to a complete stop before setting the tool down. The brake action of this grinder is not intended as a safety feature. Using the appropriate guard when operating the grinder is your best protection against unintentional contact with a spinning accessory. Unintended contact with a rotating accessory can cause property damage and/or personal injury.

WARNING

Know the charge state of your battery. The electric braking action is initiated ONLY by the release of the trigger switch and in a tool that has power available. When electrical power is lost due to a discharged battery or other causes, the electric brake will not operate and the motor will gradually slow down. Unexpected run down time may cause property damage and/or personal injury.

Your grinder is equipped with an automatic electric brake which is designed to stop the accessory from spinning in approximately two (2) seconds after you release the trigger switch. This feature helps improve jobsite productivity.

Braking starts once the power is turned off. The brake requires a charged battery to function. Stopping time will vary depending on, among other factors, accessory used, and number of actuations. The electric brake of your grinder has been designed for a high degree of reliability, but unexpected circumstances such as contamination or failure of the motor's components can cause the brake to not activate. If the tool operates but the brake does not consistently stop the accessory in about 2 seconds, DO NOT use the grinder and have it serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Bosch authorized service facility.

Assembly

WARNING

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

Operating Instructions

Metal Grinding

Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in order to use the grinder most efficiently. Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit size and structure. The correct wheel to use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of structural steel, heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel and other ferrous metals.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 10^ to 15^ angle between the tool and work surface, (Fig. 21).

Fig. 21 15°

1. Continuously move the tool at a moderate speed to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
2. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

Tip: When grinding with a new wheel be certain to grind while pulling tool backwards until the wheel becomes rounded on its edge. New wheels have sharp edges which tend to "bite" or cut into the work piece when pushed forward.

Metal Cutting

WARNING

A Type 41/1A wheel guard may not be included with this tool but is required when using a cutting wheel. Cutting with a Type 27 wheel guard may not provide the operator sufficient protection in the event of a wheel burst.

With this grinder it is possible to perform cutting of limited small stock such as metal tubes, piping or rebar. When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut. When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the smallest cross section.

Always follow precautions for kickback.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.
2. The tool should always be used in such way that the sparks are directed away from user.
3. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate

Fig. 22

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with intersecting diagonal lines (no text or symbols)

at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

1. Do not exert side pressure onto the cutting disc. Do not tilt or oscillate the tool as wheel may burst, (Fig. 22).
2. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

Masonry / Concrete Cutting

WARNING

Never pull the tool backward since blade

will climb out of the material and KICK- BACK will occur.

With this grinder it is possible to perform cutting of concrete and masonry materials. When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut.

Always follow precautions for kickback.

Operate the tool with a dust extraction system and personal dust protection, e.g. respirator, dust mask, etc. The vacuum used for this application must be approved for the extraction of masonry and concrete dust. Bosch sells suitable vacuum cleaners.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.
2. If plunge cutting:

a. Tilt tool forward with wheel lined up with the cut line and hold the tool by the grinder body and the auxiliary handle (Fig. 23).
b. Gradually lower the rear of tool using the front end of the foot as the hinge point.
c. When the foot rests flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in forward direction to end of cut.

1. Always maintain contact between the guard foot and work piece.
2. Slide the tool forward at a moderate speed adapted to the material being cut. Always cut towards the dust extraction port to maximize dust extraction and reduce likelihood of kickback (Fig. 24).
3. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
4. When the cut is completed, remove tool from work piece before turning off. Allow wheel to stop rotating before setting tool down.

Tip: When performing deep cuts, it is best to cut in several shallow passes. Each pass should be only to the segment depth of the wheel. Masonry dust is abrasive and may wear and weaken the segment bond.

When cutting especially hard material, e.g., concrete with high pebble content, the dry diamond wheel can overheat and become damaged. This is clearly indicated by circular sparking of the rotating dry diamond wheel. In this case, interrupt the cutting process and allow the dry diamond wheel to cool by running the tool for a short period of time at the maximum speed with no-load.

Noticeable decreasing work progress and circular sparking are indications of a dry diamond wheel that has become dull. Briefly cutting into abrasive materials (e.g. brick) can resharpen the wheel.

Fig. 23 Fig. 24

Sanding

Sanding discs range in grit from 16 (very course) to 180 (very fine). They also vary in size and spacing of grit.

OPEN COAT (type H) is used for soft materials and on paint and varnish, CLOSED COAT (type K) is used for metal, hardwood, stone, marble and other materials. To obtain best results, select sanding discs carefully. Many jobs require the use of several grit sizes and at times both open coat and closed coat discs are required to complete the job. See chart for application examples.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

Fig. 25 15°

1. Maintain a 10^ to 15^ angle between the tool and work surface, (Fig. 23).
2. Continuously move the tool at a moderate speed to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
3. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

Tip: Guide the disc with crisscross strokes. Do not use a circular motion as this makes swirl marks.

Operation: Refinishing painted wood or metal surfaces.
REMARKS GRIT
To remove paint and to smooth surface irregularities. Coarse	16-24-30
To smooth the rough sanding. Medium 36-50-80
To remove scratches left by previous discs. Fine 100-120
To smooth surfaces for painting, polishing or waxing. Very Fine	150-180

Wire Brush (Wheels and Cups)

Wire brushes are intended to "clean" structural steel, castings, sheet metal, stone, and concrete. They are used to remove rust, scale, and paint.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed.
3. Continuously move the tool at a moderate speed to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.
4. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.

Tip: The tips of the brush do the work. Operate wire brushes with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work piece. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action and a shortened brush life due to wire fatigue. Applying the side or edge of the brush to the work piece will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.
