To lock-on the pressed on/off switch (6), push the on/off

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.

Practical advice

Protect the grinding tools against impact.
u
Grinding and Deburring Metal
Always use the open protective guard with locking screw (2)
when grinding and deburring metal with bonded abrasives.
Hold the power tool firmly by the handle (8) with both
hands.
Move the power tool back and forth with moderate pressure.
This will ensure that the workpiece does not become too hot
or discolour and that grooves are not formed.
Working with Cup Brushes
The power tool is also suitable for working with cup
brushes.You can use the open protective guard with locking
screw (2) for this.
Hold the power tool firmly by the handle (8) with both
hands.
Move the power tool back and forth with moderate pressure
in order to achieve a consistent material removal rate and to
avoid damaging the workpiece.
The power tool is not suitable for working with disc brushes.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if
u
possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and in-
stall a residual current device (RCD) upstream. When
machining metals, conductive dust can settle inside the
power tool, which can affect its protective insulation.
Store and handle the accessories carefully.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
