Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment 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

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, firstly push the safety switch against

starting 6 toward the front and afterwards press and hold the

On/Off switch 5.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 5, push the lock-on button

6 further toward the front.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch 5, or

when it is locked, briefly press the On/Off switch 5 and then

release it.
f

Check grinding tools before using. The grinding tool

must be mounted properly and be able to move freely.

Carry out a test run for at least one minute with no load.

Do not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating grind-

ing tools. Damaged grinding tools can burst and cause in-

juries.

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 ma-

chine and causes the grinding tool to wear more quickly.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.

For safe and proper working, always keep the machine

and ventilation slots clean.

In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as

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-

paired.

If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-

turing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by

an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.

In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always in-

clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of

the machine.
