Run-on Brake
The power tool is equipped with the Bosch
Brake System, a patented electromechani-
cal run-on brake.
When switching off or when the power sup-
ply is interrupted, the machine comes to a
complete stop within a few seconds. This
means a reduction of the run-on time of approx. 70 % when
compared with angle grinders without run-on brake, which al-
lows for the power tool to be placed down sooner.
Note: When the braking effect decreases noticeably, the run-
on brake has failed. The power tool should be sent immediate-
ly to an after-sales service (for addresses, see section "After-
sales Service and Application Service".
Restarting Protection (3 601 H64 U..)
The restarting protection feature prevents uncontrolled re-
starting of the machine after an interruption in the power sup-
ply.
To restart the operation, switch the On/Off switch 3 to the
Off position and start the machine again.
Reduced starting current
The electronic reduced starting current limits the power con-
sumption when switching the tool on and enables operation
from a 13 ampere fuse.
Note: When the machine runs at full speed immediately after
switching on, the reduced starting current and the restarting
protection have failed. The power tool should be sent imme-
diately to an after-sales service (for addresses, see section
"After-sales Service and Application Service".

Working Advice

 Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls;
see Section "Information on Structures".
 Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary
due to its own weight.
 Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a
standstill.
 After heavily straining the power tool, continue to run
it at no-load for several minutes to cool down the acces-
sory.
 Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they
have cooled down. The discs can become very hot while
working.
 Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
Note: When not using for extended periods, pull the mains
plug out of the socket outlet. When the mains plug is inserted
and mains voltage is given, the power tool, even when
switched off, still consumes a low amount of current.
Rough Grinding
 Never use a cutting disc for roughing.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the ma-
chine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine back and
forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece
will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves
are formed.
Bosch Power Tools
Flap Disc
With the flap disc (accessory), curved surfaces and profiles
can be worked.
Flap discs have a considerably higher service life, lower noise
levels and lower sanding temperatures than conventional
sanding sheets.
Cutting Metal
 For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the pro-
tection guard for cutting 15.
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the mate-
rial being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc, tilt
or oscillate the machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by ap-
plying sideward pressure.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at the
smallest cross section.
Cutting Stone
 Provide for sufficient dust extraction when cutting
stone.
 Wear a dust respirator.
 The machine may be used only for dry cutting/grinding.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.
When using the cutting guide with dust extraction protection
guard 22, the vacuum cleaner must be approved for vacuum-
ing masonry dust. Suitable vacuum cleaners are available
from Bosch.
English | 23
The machine must al-
ways work in an up-
grinding motion. Other-
wise, the danger exists
of it being pushed un-
controlled out of the
cut.
Switch on the machine
and place the front part
of the cutting guide on
the workpiece. Slide the
machine with moderate
feed, adapted to the ma-
terial to be worked.
