Note: If the grinding disc breaks during operation or the
holding fixtures on the protective guard/power tool become
damaged, the power tool must be sent to the after-sales ser-
vice immediately; see the "After-Sales Service and Applica-
tion Service" section for addresses.
Protective guard for grinding
Place the protective guard (12) onto
the holder on the power tool until the
coding cams of the protective guard
are aligned with the holder. When do-
ing so, press and hold the unlocking
lever (1).
Press the protective guard (12) onto
the spindle collar until the shoulder of
the protective 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 (12) to meet the
requirements of the operation. To do this, push the unlock-
ing lever (1) upward and rotate the protective guard (12)
into the required position.
Always position the protective guard (12) such that
u
the two cams on the unlocking lever (1) engage in the
corresponding openings on the protective guard (12).
Adjust the protective guard (12) such that sparking in
u
the direction of the operator is prevented.
The protective guard (12) must only be able to be ro-
u
tated in the direction of the accessory while the un-
locking lever (1) is actuated. Otherwise, the power
tool must not be used any more under any circum-
stances and must be sent to the after-sales service.
Note: The coding cams on the protective guard (12) 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 (16), you can use the
extraction guard (11). The extraction guard (11) is not suit-
able for machining metal.
A suitable Bosch dust extractor can be connected to the ex-
traction guard (11). 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
For cutting, always use the protective guard for
u
cutting (13) or the protective guard for grinding (12)
together with the cover for cutting (14).
Provide sufficient dust extraction when cutting stone.
u
The protective guard for cutting (13) is fitted in the same
way as the protective guard for grinding (12).
Metal cover for cutting
Fit the metal cover for cutting (14) on the protective guard
for grinding (12) (see figure A): Swivel the tool retainer back
(➊). Attach the cover (14) to the protective guard for

grinding (12) (➋). Press the tool retainer firmly into place
on the protective guard (12) (➌).
To remove the cover (see figure B), press the button on the
tool retainer (➊) and swivel it back (➋). Remove the
cover (14) from the protective guard (12) (➌).
Plastic cover for cutting
Attach the plastic cover for cutting (14) to the protective
guard for grinding (12) (see figure C). The cover (14) aud-
ibly and visually engages on the protective guard (12).
To remove the cover (see figure D), unlock the cover (14) on
the left- or right-hand side of the protective guard (12) (➊)
and remove the cover (➋).
Extraction guard for cutting with a guide block
The extraction guard for cutting with a cutting guide (35) is
fitted in the same way as the protective guard for grinding.
By securing the auxiliary handle (8)/(7) with the clip through
the extraction guard on the gearbox housing, the power tool
is firmly attached to the extraction guard. A suitable Bosch
dust extractor can be connected to the extraction guard with
a cutting guide (35). To do so, insert the vacuum hose with
dust extraction adapter into the provided receiving connec-
tion of the extraction guard.
Note: The friction generated by the dust in the vacuum hose
and accessory during extraction causes an electrostatic
charge that the user may experience as static discharge (de-
pending on environmental factors and their physiological
state). Bosch generally recommends using an anti-static va-
cuum hose (accessory) to vacuum up fine dust and dry ma-
terials.
Hand guard
Always fit the hand guard (27) when working with the
u
rubber sanding pad (28) or with the cup brush/conical
brush/diamond annular cutter.
Attach the hand guard (27) to the auxiliary handle (8)/(7).
Standard auxiliary handle/low-vibration auxiliary handle
Screw the auxiliary handle (8)/(7) 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)/(7).
Do not continue to use the power tool if the auxiliary
u
handle (8)/(7) is damaged. Do not make any altera-
tions to the auxiliary handle (8)/(7).
The low-vibration auxiliary handle (7)
reduces vibration, enabling the tool to
be used safely and more comfortably.
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.
