uAlways position the protective guard(9) such that the

two cams on the unlocking lever(1) engage in the

corresponding openings on the protective guard(9).

uAdjust the protective guard (9) such that sparking in

the direction of the operator is prevented.

uThe protective guard (9) must only be adjustable

while the unlocking lever (1) is actuated. Otherwise,

the power tool must not be used any more under any

circumstances and must be sent to the after-sales ser-

vice.

Note: The coding cams on the protective guard (9) ensure

that only a protective guard that is suitable for the power

tool can be fitted.

Extraction guard for sanding

For low-dust grinding of paints, lacquers and plastics in con-

junction with carbide grinding heads(13), you can use the

extraction guard(8). The extraction guard(8) is not suitable

for machining metal.

A suitable Bosch dust extractor can be connected to the ex-

traction guard(8). To do so, insert the vacuum hose with

dust extraction adapter into the provided receiving connec-

tion of the extraction guard.

Protective guard for cutting

uFor cutting, always use the protective guard for

cutting(10) or the protective guard for grinding (9)

together with the cover for cutting(11).

uProvide sufficient dust extraction when cutting stone.

The protective guard for cutting(10) is fitted in the same

way as the protective guard for grinding(9).

Metal cover for cutting

Fit the metal cover for cutting(11) on the protective guard

for grinding(9) (see figureA): Swivel the tool retainer back

(). Attach the cover(11) to the protective guard for

grinding(9) (). Press the tool retainer firmly into place on

the protective guard(9) ().

To remove the cover (see figureB), press the button on the

tool retainer () and swivel it back (). Remove the

cover(11) from the protective guard(9) ().

Plastic cover for cutting

Attach the plastic cover for cutting(11) to the protective

guard for grinding(9) (see figureC). The cover(11) audibly

and visually engages on the protective guard(9).

To remove the cover (see figureD), unlock the cover(11) on

the left- or right-hand side of the protective guard(9) ()

and remove the cover ().

Extraction guard for cutting with a guide block

The extraction guard for cutting with a cutting guide(32) is

fitted in the same way as the protective guard for grinding.

By securing the auxiliary handle(6)/(7) with the clip through

the extraction guard on the gearbox housing, the power tool

is firmly attached to the extraction guard. A suitable Bosch

dust extractor can be connected to the extraction guard with

a cutting guide(32). To do so, insert the vacuum hose with

dust extraction adapter into the provided receiving connec-

tion of the extraction guard.

Note: The friction generated by the dust in the vacuum hose

and accessory during extraction causes an electrostatic

charge that the user may experience as static discharge (de-

pending on environmental factors and their physiological

state). Bosch generally recommends using an anti-static va-

cuum hose (accessory) to vacuum up fine dust and dry ma-

terials.

Hand guard

uAlways fit the hand guard (24) when working with the

rubber sanding pad (25) or with the cup brush/conical

brush/diamond annular cutter.

Attach the hand guard (24) to the side handle (6).

Standard auxiliary handle/low-vibration auxiliary handle

Screw the auxiliary handle (6)/(7) on the right or left of the

machine head depending on the working method.

uDo not operate your power tool without the auxiliary

handle(6)/(7).

uDo not continue to use the power tool if the auxiliary

handle (6)/(7) is damaged. Do not make any altera-

tions to the auxiliary handle (6)/(7).

The low-vibration auxiliary

handle (7) reduces vibra-

tion, enabling the tool to be

used safely and more com-

fortably.

Fitting the Abrasive Tools

uPull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any

work on the power tool.

uDo not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have

cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-

ing.

Clean the grinding spindle (23) and all the parts to be fitted.

Lock the grinding spindle with the spindle lock button (2)

before clamping and releasing the abrasive tools.

uDo not press the spindle lock button while the grind-

ing spindle is moving. The power tool may become dam-

aged if you do this.

Grinding/cutting disc

Pay attention to the dimensions of the abrasive tools. The

diameter of the hole must match that of the mounting flange.

Do not use an adapter or reducer.

When using diamond cutting discs, make sure that the direc-

tion of rotation arrow on the diamond cutting disc corres-

ponds to the direction of rotation of the machine (see direc-

tion of rotation arrow on the housing).

See the graphics page for fitting instructions.

Note: When assembling bonded grinding or cutting discs us-

ing the supplied mounting flange(12) and the clamping

nut(19) or quick-clamping nut(20), the use of intermediate

layers is not necessary.

To secure the grinding/cutting disc, place the mounting

flange with O-ring(12) on the grinding spindle(23) and

screw on the clamping nut(19). Ensure the alignment of the

clamping nut(19) depending on the grinding/cutting disc
