Fitting Protective Equipment
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
Note: If the grinding disc breaks during operation or the
holding fixtures on the protective guard/power tool become
damaged, the power tool must be sent to the after-sales ser-
vice immediately; see the "After-Sales Service and Applica-
tion Service" section for addresses.
Protective guard for grinding
Place the protective guard (8) on the spindle collar. Adjust
the position of the protective guard (8) to meet the require-
ments of the operation. Lock the protective guard (8) by
tightening the locking screw (9) using the combination
wrench (3) .
u
Adjust the protective guard (8) such that sparking in
the direction of the operator is prevented.
Note: The coding cams on the protective guard (8) 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 (7) . The extraction guard (7) is not suitable
for machining metal.
A suitable Bosch dust extractor can be connected to the ex-
traction guard
(7) . 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
u
For cutting, always use the protective guard for
cutting
(10) or the protective guard for grinding (8)
together with the cover for cutting (11) .
u
Provide sufficient dust extraction when cutting stone.
The protective guard for cutting (10) is fitted in the same
way as the protective guard for grinding (8) .
Metal cover for cutting
Fit the metal cover for cutting (11) on the protective guard
for grinding (8) (see figure A ): Swivel the tool retainer back
( ➊ ). Attach the cover (11) to the protective guard for
grinding (8) ( ➋ ). Press the tool retainer firmly into place on
the protective guard (8) ( ➌ ).
To remove the cover (see figure B ), press the button on the
tool retainer ( ➊ ) and swivel it back ( ➋ ). Remove the
cover (11) from the protective guard (8) ( ➌ ).
Plastic cover for cutting
Attach the plastic cover for cutting (11) to the protective
guard for grinding (8) (see figure C ). The cover (11) audibly
and visually engages on the protective guard (8) .
To remove the cover (see figure D ), unlock the cover (11) on
the left- or right-hand side of the protective guard (8) ( ➊ )
and remove the cover ( ➋ ).
Hand guard
u
Always fit the hand guard (23) when working with the
rubber sanding pad (24) or with the cup brush/conical
brush.
Attach the hand guard (23) to the auxiliary handle (6)/(5) .
Standard auxiliary handle/low-vibration auxiliary handle
Screw the auxiliary handle (6)/(5) on the right or left of the
machine head depending on the working method.
u
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
handle (6)/(5)
.
u
Do not continue to use the power tool if the auxiliary
handle (6)/(5) is damaged. Do not make any altera-
tions to the auxiliary handle
(6)/(5).
The low-vibration auxiliary
handle
(5) reduces vibra-
tion, enabling the tool to be
used safely and more com-
fortably.
Fitting the Abrasive Tools
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
u
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
cooled down.
The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Clean the grinding spindle (22) and all the parts to be fitted.
Lock the grinding spindle with the spindle lock button (1)
before clamping and releasing the abrasive tools.
u
Do 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 (22) and
screw on the clamping nut (19) . Pay attention to the align-
ment of the clamping nut (19) depending on the grinding/
cutting disc that is being used (see figures at the beginning
of the.operating manual), and tighten it with the combina-
tion wrench (see " Quick-clamping nut
",
page 24).
u
After fitting the abrasive tool, check that the abrasive
tool is fitted correctly and can turn freely before
switching on the power tool. Make sure that the abras-
