 Caution! Application tools can become hot during pro-
longed operation of the pneumatic tool. Wear protective
gloves.
 Wear close-fitting gloves. The flow of compressed air
makes the handles of pneumatic tools cold. Warm hands
are less sensitive to vibrations. Loose fitting gloves can be
caught by rotating parts.
 The operators and the maintenance personnel must be
physically capable to handle the size, weight and pow-
er of the pneumatic tool.
 Be prepared for unexpected movements of the pneu-
matic tool that can develop owing to reaction forces or
breakage of the application tool. Maintain a firm grip
on the pneumatic tool and position your body and arms
to allow you to resist such movements. These precau-
tions can prevent injuries.
 When working with this pneumatic tool, assume a com-
fortable stance, hold the tool securely and avoid unfa-
vourable positions or such positions, where it is diffi-
cult to keep your balance. For prolonged work, the
operator should change the stance or posture, which
can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
 Ensure that the guide plate is held firmly against the
workpiece. You may be injured as a result of uncontrolled
movements of the pneumatic tool.
 In case of an interruption of the air supply or reduced
operating pressure, switch the pneumatic tool off.
Check the operating pressure and start again when the op-
erating pressure is optimal.
 Use only the lubricants recommended by Bosch.
 When using the pneumatic tool for the performance of
work-related activities, the operator may experience
unpleasant sensations in the hands, arms, shoulders,
neck area or other body parts.
 Should the operator perceive symptoms such as persis-
tent nausea, discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, these warning signs
should not be ignored. The operator should notify his
employer about the symptoms and consult a qualified
physician.
 Do not use a damaged application tool. Before every
use, check application tools for chips and cracks, abra-
sion or excessive wear. If the pneumatic tool or the ap-
plication tool falls, check whether it is damaged or use
an undamaged application tool. When you have
checked and inserted the application tool, keep your-
self and bystanders away from the vicinity of the mov-
ing application tool and leave the power tool to run for
a minute at maximum speed. Damaged application tools
will normally break apart during this test time.
 Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility compa-
ny for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.
 Avoid contact with "live" conductors. The pneumatic
tool is not insulated; contact with a "live" conductor can
lead to an electric shock.

The dust developing during sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling and similar
operations can act carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagen-
ic. Some of the substances contained in these dusts are:
– Lead in lead-based paints and varnishes;
– Crystalline silica in bricks, cement and other masonry
work;
– Arsenic and chromate in chemically treated wood.
The risk of disease depends on how often you are exposed to
these substances. To reduce the risk, you should work only in
well ventilated rooms with appropriate protective equipment
(e. g. with specially designed respirators that filter out even
the smallest dust particles).
 By working with certain materials, dusts and vapours
can form, which can create an explosive atmosphere.
By working with pneumatic tools, sparks can be produced,
which can ignite the dust or the vapours.
 When working on the workpiece, additional noise can
develop, which can be avoided through appropriate
measures (e. g. by using damping materials on occur-
rence of ringing noise from the workpiece).
 When the pneumatic tool is equipped with a silencer,
always ensure that it is available and in proper working
condition when operating the pneumatic tool.
 Vibration effects may cause damage to the nerves and
blood circulation disorders in the hands and arms.
 If you notice that the skin of your fingers or hands be-
comes numb, tingles, hurts or turns white, stop work-
ing with the pneumatic tool, notify your employer and
consult a physician.
 Hold the pneumatic tool with a not too firm yet secure
grip, compliant with the required hand-reaction forces.
The vibrations can be intensified the firmer you hold the
tool.
 When universal rotary couplings (bayonet couplings)
are being used, retaining pins are required. Use Whip-
check hose restraints to protect against failed hose
connections or the connection between hose and pneu-
matic tool.
 Never carry the pneumatic tool by the hose.
Symbols
The following symbols could have a meaning for the use of your
pneumatic tool. Please take note of the symbols and their
meaning. The correct interpretation of the symbols will help
you to use the pneumatic tool in a better and safer manner.
Symbol Meaning
 Before installing, operating, re-
pairing, maintaining and replacing
accessories as well as prior to
working near by the pneumatic
tool, please read and observe all in-
structions. Failure to follow the fol-
lowing safety warnings and instruc-
tions may result in serious injury.
