power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized work-
piece to minimize the risk of wheel pinch-
ing and kickback. Large workpieces tend to
sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the workpiece near the line
of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a "pock-
et cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for
Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recom-
mended for your power tool and the specif-
ic guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not de-
signed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for maxi-
mum safety, so the least amount of wheel
is exposed towards the operator. The guard
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.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be care-
ful 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 clean-
ing agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachlo-
ride, 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 Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Additional Safety Warnings
helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abra-
sive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges sup-
port the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific
for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
Do not attempt to cut large stock or sheets
of metal as this machine is not designed to
be a dedicated cut-off machine.
Do not use type 1 abrasive wheels de-
signed for straight grinding.
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive 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, de-
pending 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.
