Restart protection
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from
uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been
interrupted.
To
restart the tool, set the on/off switch (2) to the off posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
Working Advice
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
u
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls;
see the "Information on structural design" section.
u
Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own
weight.
u
Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a
stop.
u
If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load,
continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to
cool down the accessory.
u
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
u
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
cooled down.
The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Rough grinding
u
Never use cutting discs for rough grinding.
The best rough grinding results are achieved with a set angle
of 30° to 40°. Move the power tool back and forth with mod-
erate pressure. This will ensure that the workpiece does not
become too hot or discolour and that grooves are not
formed.
Flap Disc
With the flap disc (accessory), curved surfaces and profiles
can be worked. Flap discs have a considerably higher ser-
vice life, lower noise levels and lower sanding temperatures
than conventional sanding sheets.
Cutting Metal
u
Always use the protective guard for cutting (13) when
cutting with bonded abrasives.
When carrying out abrasive cutting, use a moderate feed
that is suited to the material being machined. Do not exert
pressure on the cutting disc and do not tilt or swing the
power tool.
Do not attempt to reduce the speed of a cutting disc coming
to a stop by applying pressure from the side.
The power tool must always
work in an up-grinding mo-
tion. Otherwise, there is a
risk that it will be pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
For best results when cut-
ting profiles and rectangular
tubing, start at the smallest
cross section.
Cutting Stone
u
Provide sufficient dust extraction when cutting stone.
u
Wear a dust mask.
u
The power tool may be used only for dry cutting/grind-
ing.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.
When cutting especially hard materials such as concrete
with a high pebble content, the diamond cutting disc can
overheat and become damaged as a result. This is clearly in-
dicated by circular sparking, rotating with the diamond cut-
ting disc.
If this happens, stop cutting and allow the diamond cutting
disc to cool down by running the power tool for a short time
at maximum speed with no load.
If work is noticeably slower and circular sparking is present,
this indicates that the diamond cutting disc has become
blunt. You can resharpen the disc by briefly cutting into ab-
rasive material (e.g. lime-sand brick).
Information on structural design
Slots in load-bearing walls are subject to DIN 1053 part 1 or
country-specific regulations. These regulations must be ob-
served under all circumstances. Seek advice from the re-
sponsible structural engineer, architect or construction su-
pervisor before starting work.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
u
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
u
In extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if
possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and in-
stall a residual current device (RCD) upstream.
When
machining metals, conductive dust can settle inside the
power tool, which can affect its protective insulation.
Store and handle the accessories carefully.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by
Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
