Rotating the machine head (see figure A)
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
The machine head can be rotated in 90° increments. In this
way, the on/off switch can be brought into a more favourable
handling position for particular applications, e.g. for left-
handed tool users.
Completely unscrew the four screws. Rotate the machine
head carefully, without removing it from the housing, into
the new position. Screw in and retighten the four screws.

Dust/Chip Extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Operation
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
When operating the power tool using a mobile generator that
does not have sufficient reserve capacity or an adequate
voltage control system with inrush current boost converter,
loss of performance or atypical behaviour may occur upon
switch-on.
Please check the suitability of the power generator you are
using, particularly with regard to the mains voltage and fre-
quency.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.

Switching on/off

(GWS 13-125 CIX / GWS 13-125 CIEX /
GWS 17-125 CIX / GWS 17-125 CIEX)
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (3) forward.
To lock the on/off switch (3) in position, push the on/off
switch (3) forward and down until it clicks into place.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3);
or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (3)
backward and down and then release it.
Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
u
abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to
move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one
minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are
damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged
abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Switching On/Off
(GWS 12-125 CIPX / GWS 12-125 CIEPX /
GWS 15-125 CIPX / GWS 15-125 CIEPX)
To start the power tool, push the unlocking lever (5) to the
rear and then push the on/off switch (3) upwards.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3).
Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
u
abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to
move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one
minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are
damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged
abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Run-out brake
The power tool is fitted with the Bosch Brake
System, a patented electromechanical run-out
brake. When the power supply is switched off
or interrupted, the abrasive tool is brought to a
complete stop within a few seconds. This
means that the run-out time is 70% shorter than for angle
grinders without a run-out brake and enables the power tool
to be set down sooner.
Note: The power tool is equipped with a special grinding
spindle with a fine thread (M14x1.5) to prevent the applica-
tion tool from running out unintentionally. Only use original
Bosch clamping nuts with a fine thread to assemble the ap-
plication tools. Other clamping devices or application tools
with a thread insert (M14x2.0) cannot be assembled and
are not permitted in order to prevent hazards and injuries
and so as to avoid damaging the tool.
Note: If the braking effect deteriorates noticeably, the run-
out brake has failed. The power tool must be sent to the
