u

u
rubber sanding plate (17) or with the cup brush/disc
brush/flap disc.

Fitting and removing abrasive tools
Follow the special assembly instructions for
X-LOCK application tools.
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Only use original X-LOCK application tools that carry the
u
X-LOCK logo. A maintained clamping gauge of max.
1.6 mm can only be guaranteed with original X-LOCK ap-
plication tools. A higher clamping gauge can lead to insec-
ure clamping, potentially causing the clamp tool to come
loose.
X-LOCK application tools do not need additional clamping
u
flanges or support flanges.
Make sure that the application tool and the holder are not
u
deformed and are free from dirt and particles.
Pay attention to the dimensions of the abrasive tools.
Make sure that both X-LOCK catches are open (see figure
below) before fitting the X-LOCK application tool.
If necessary, clean the area between the two X-LOCK
catches.
Fitting the abrasive tool
➊ Place the grinding/cutting/flap disc in a central position
on the X-LOCK holder, parallel to the bearing surface
and with the right side facing up.
Bosch Power Tools
The low-vibration auxiliary
handle reduces vibration,
enabling the tool to be used
safely and more comfort-
➋ Push the disc into the holder.
➌ The disc audibly clicks into place. Do not actuate the
lever (3) when doing so.

After fitting, check that the edge of the abrasive tool
u
(➍) is fitted correctly, i.e. is no higher than the refer-
ence surface (➎). If the edge is higher than the refer-
ence surface, either the holder must be cleaned or the
abrasive tool must not be used.
Before removing the grinding/cutting/flap disc: Make
sure that the power tool has come to a complete stop.
Removing the abrasive tool
➊ Open the lever (3).
➋ The grinding/cutting/flap disc will be released.
➌ The grinding/cutting/flap disc can be removed.

u
cup brush/disc brush or fibre disc.

To remove an application tool, open the lever (3) and re-
move the application tool.
