Additional Safety Warnings
-6-
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply.
While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.
Use hand guard when sanding and
brushing.
Do not use Type 1 abrasive wheels
designed for straight grinding.

or Type 42/27A) with this grinder.
The
provided guard is intended for Type 27 grinding
wheels only and may not contain or deflect
swarf, particles or fragments during cutting

Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
