Let the grinder acces-
sory come to a com-
plete stop before setting the tool down.
The brake action of this grinder is not in-
tended as a safety feature. Using the ap-
propriate guard when operating the grind-
er is your best protection against
unintentional contact with a spinning ac-
cessory. Unintended contact with a rotat-
ing accessory can cause property damage
and\or personal injury.
Know the charge state
of your battery. The
electric braking action is initiated ONLY
by the release of the trigger switch and in
a tool that has power available. When
electrical power is lost due to a dis-
charged battery or other causes, the
electric brake will not operate and the
motor will gradually slow down. Unex-
pected run down time may cause property
damage and/or personal injury.
Your grinder is equipped with an automat-
ic electric brake which is designed to stop
the accessory from spinning in approxi-
mately two (2) seconds after you release
the trigger switch. This feature helps im-
prove jobsite productivity.
Braking starts once the power is turned
off. The brake requires a charged battery
to function. Stopping time will vary de-
pending on, among other factors, acces-
sory used, and number of actuations. The
electric brake of your grinder has been
designed for a high degree of reliability,
but unexpected circumstances such as
contamination or failure of the motor’s
components can cause the brake to not
activate. If the tool operates but the brake
does not consistently stop the accessory
in about 2 seconds, DO NOT use the grind-
er and have it serviced by a Bosch Factory
Service Center or Bosch authorized ser-
vice facility.
