Assembly
Mounting the Protective Devices
Before any work on the power tool itself,
pull the mains plug.
Protection Guard for Grinding
Position the protection
guard 12 onto the spindle
collar as shown in the illus-
tration. The triangle marks
on the protection guard
must correspond with the
respective marks on the
gear case.
Press the protection guard
12 onto the spindle collar
until the shoulder of the
protection guard is seated
against the flange of the
power tool, and turn the
protection guard until it can clearly be heard to
engage.
Adjust the position of the protection guard 12 to
the requirements of the work process. For this,
press the release lever 1 upward and turn the
protection guard 12 to the required position.
Adjust the protection guard 12 in such a
manner that sparking is prevented in the di-
rection of the operator.
The protection guard 12 may be turned only
upon actuation of the release lever 1! Other-
wise the power tool may not continue to be
used under any circumstances and must be
taken to an after-sales service agent.
Note: The encoding keys on the protection guard
12 ensure that only a protection guard that fits
the machine type can be mounted.
Protection Guard for Cutting
For cutting metal, always work with the pro-
tection guard for cutting 13.
For cutting stone, always work with the cut-
ting guide with dust extraction protection
guard 20.
Bosch Power Tools
The protection guard for cutting 13 is mounted in
the same manner as the protection guard for
sanding 12.
Extraction Hood for Sanding
The extraction hood 7 can be used for low-dust
sanding of paint, varnish and plastics in conjunc-
tion with the carbide grinding head 9 or the rub-
ber sanding plate 16 with a sanding sheet 17. The
extraction hood 7 is not suitable for working met-
als.
A suitable Bosch vacuum cleaner can be connect-
ed to the extraction hood 7.
The extraction hood 7 is mounted in the same
manner as the protection guard 12. The brush
collar is exchangeable.
Auxiliary Handle
Operate your power tool only with the auxil-
iary handle 5.
Screw the auxiliary handle 5 on the right or left of
the machine head depending on the working
method.
Vibration-dampening Auxiliary Handle
The vibration-dampening auxiliary handle reduc-
es the vibrations, making operation more com-
fortable and secure.
Do not make any alterations to the auxiliary
handle.
Do not continue to use an auxiliary handle if it
is damaged.
Hand Guard
For operations with the rubber sanding plate
16 or with the cup brush/wheel brush/flap
disc, always mount the hand guard 15.
The hand guard 15 is fastened with the auxiliary
handle 5.
