Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, firstly push the safety
switch against starting 6 toward the front and
afterwards press and hold the On/Off switch 5.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 5, push the
lock-on button 6 further toward the front.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off
switch 5, or when it is locked, briefly press the
On/Off switch 5 and then release it.
Check grinding tools before using. The
grinding tool must be mounted properly
and be able to move freely. Carry out a test
run for at least one minute with no load. Do
not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating
grinding tools. Damaged grinding tools can
burst and cause injuries.
Working Advice
Optimum grinding results are achieved when
the grinding tool is moved uniformly back and
forth with light pressure. Pressure that is too
strong reduces the performance capability of
the machine and causes the grinding tool to
wear more quickly.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
Bosch Power Tools
In extreme working conditions, conductive
dust can accumulate in the interior of the
machine when working with metal. The pro-
tective insulation of the machine can be de-
graded. The use of a stationary extraction
system is recommended in such cases as
well as frequently blowing out the ventila-
tion slots and installing a residual current
device (RCD).
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
