Protective guard for grinding
Place the protective guard
(11) onto the holder on the
power tool until the coding
cams of the protective guard
are aligned with the holder.
When doing so, press and
hold the unlocking lever (1).
Press the protective guard
(11) onto the spindle collar
until the shoulder of the pro-
tective guard is sitting on the
flange of the power tool and
rotate the protective guard
until it audibly clicks into
place.
Adjust the position of the protective guard (11) to meet the
requirements of the operation. To do this, push the unlock-
ing lever (1) upward and rotate the protective guard (11)
into the required position.
Always position the protective guard (11) such that
u
the two cams on the unlocking lever (1) engage in the
corresponding openings on the protective guard (11).
Adjust the protective guard (11) such that sparking in
u
the direction of the operator is prevented.
The protective guard (11) must only be adjustable
u
while the unlocking lever (1) is actuated. Otherwise,
the power tool must not be used any more under any
circumstances and must be sent to the after-sales ser-
vice.
Note: The coding cams on the protective guard (11) ensure
that only a protective guard that is suitable for the power
tool can be fitted.
Extraction guard for sanding
For low-dust grinding of paints, lacquers and plastics in con-
junction with carbide grinding heads (14), you can use the
extraction guard (10). The extraction guard (10) is not suit-
able for machining metal.
A suitable Bosch dust extractor can be connected to the ex-
traction guard (10). To do so, insert the vacuum hose with
dust extraction adapter into the provided receiving connec-
tion of the extraction guard.
Protective guard for cutting
Always use the protective guard for cutting (12) when
u
cutting with bonded abrasives.
Provide sufficient dust extraction when cutting stone.
u
The protective guard for cutting (12) is fitted in the same
way as the protective guard for grinding (11).
Extraction guard for cutting with a guide block
The extraction guard for cutting with a guide block (32) is fit-
ted in the same way as the protective guard for grinding
(11).
Bosch Power Tools
Hand guard
Always fit the hand guard (23) when working with the
u
rubber sanding pad (24) or with the cup brush/conical
brush/diamond annular cutter.
Attach the hand guard (23) to the auxiliary handle (8)/(9).
Standard auxiliary handle/low-vibration auxiliary handle
Screw the auxiliary handle (8)/(9) on the right or left of the
machine head depending on the working method.
Do not operate your power tool without the auxiliary
u
handle (8)/(9).
Do not continue to use the power tool if the auxiliary
u
handle (8)/(9) is damaged. Do not make any altera-

fortably.
Fitting the Abrasive 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.
Clean the grinding spindle (22) and all the parts to be fitted.
Lock the grinding spindle with the spindle lock button (3)
before clamping and releasing the abrasive tools.
Do not press the spindle lock button while the grind-
u
ing spindle is moving. The power tool may become dam-
aged if you do this.
Grinding/cutting disc with 125 mm diameter
Pay attention to the dimensions of the abrasive tools. The
diameter of the hole must match that of the mounting flange.
Do not use an adapter or reducer.
When using diamond cutting discs, ensure that the arrow in-
dicating the direction of rotation on the diamond cutting disc
matches the direction of rotation of the power tool (see the
direction of rotation arrow on the machine head).
See the graphics page for assembly instructions.
Use the quick-clamping nut (20) to secure the grinding/cut-
ting disc without the need for additional tools.
Only use the quick-clamping nut (20) for grinding/cutting
discs up to a maximum diameter of 125 mm.
The quick-clamping nut (20) may be used only for
u
grinding or cutting discs.
Only use quick-clamping nuts (20) that are in good
u
working order and not damaged.
When screwing on, make sure that the printed side of
u
the quick-clamping nut (20) is not facing the grinding
disc.
