Cutting
When cutting, do not press, tilt or
oscillate. Gently slide it forward with
a speed adapted to the material be-
ing worked on.
Do not brake cutting discs that are
slowing down to a stop by using
side pressure.
The cutting direction
is very important.
The machine must
always work opposite
to the direction of ro-
tation. Therefore,
never move the ma-
chine in the other di-
rection! Otherwise,
there is the danger of
it being pushed un-
controlled out of the
cut.
When cutting profiles and square pipes, it is best
to start with the smallest cross section.
■
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the power plug.
The machine head
can be rotated in 90°
steps with respect to
the machine housing.
By doing this, the
On/Off switch can be
brought to a better
position for special
working situations,
e.
g., for cutting
work with the cutting
guide/cutting grinder
stand (accessory) or
for left-handed per-
sons.
Unscrew the four screws completely.
Rotate the machine head carefully and without
removing it from the housing bring it to its new
position.
Screw in the screws again and tighten.

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the power plug.
☞
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
Under extreme working conditions, con-
ductive dust can accumulate in the interior
of the machine when working with metals,
which can impair the protective insulation
of the machine.Therefore, in such cases it
is recommended that stationary dust ex-
traction equipment be used as well as the
frequent blowing out of the ventilation slots
and the installation of a residual current de-
vice (RCD).
Should the machine fail in spite of careful manu-
facturing and testing, its repair should be carried
out by a Bosch power tools authorized service
agent.
For all correspondence and spare parts orders,
always include the 10-digit part number of the
machine!
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing
them as waste
The machine, its accessories and packaging ma-
terials should be sorted for environmentally-
friendly recycling.
These instructions are printed on chlorine-free re-
cycled paper.
The plastic components are labeled for catego-
rized recycling.
