 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Bench Grinders
Wear safety goggles.
 Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from
being operated by untrained persons.
 Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
 Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable re-
paired only through an authorised customer service
agent for Bosch power tools. Replace damaged exten-
sion cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
 Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
 Connect the machine to a mains supply with proper
earthing connection. Socket outlet and extension cable
must be equipped with an operative protective conductor.
 Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.

 The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal
to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Ac-
cessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
 Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use,
check the grinding wheel for chips and cracks. If the
machine or application tool is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged application tool. After
inspecting and installing the application tool, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the ro-
tating application tool and run the power tool at maxi-
mum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged applica-
tion tools will normally break apart during this test time.
 Use the machine only with the spark guard 10. Sparks
being expelled can injure your eyes or set objects in the vi-
cinity on fire.
 When grinding, tilt down the spark guard 10 as far as
possible. Sparking occurs when grinding metal.
 Regularly check the clearance between the workpiece
support 11 as well as the holder of the spark guard 9 to
the grinding wheel, and readjust as required. The clear-
ance to the grinding wheel may not exceed 2 mm. When
the clearance is larger, you are not sufficiently protected
against sparking. The workpiece can be drawn in by the ro-
tational motion of the grinding wheel and lead to injuries.
 Guide the workpiece only against the switched-on ma-
chine and do not switch the machine off until after hav-
ing removed the workpiece. The workpiece can move
suddenly.
 Never apply the workpiece laterally against the rotat-
ing grinding wheel, and always grind from the front.
The workpiece can be drawn out of your hand through the
rotational motion of the grinding wheel and lead to injuries.
 Never reach into the running grinding wheel of the ma-
chine. This can lead to serious injuries.
 Do not stop coasting grinding wheels by applying later-
al pressure to them. The workpiece can be drawn out of
your hand through the rotational motion of the grinding
wheel and lead to injuries.
 Wear a work apron. Pay attention that other persons are
not put at risk from sparking. Remove flammable mate-
rials in close vicinity. Sparking occurs when cutting metal.
 Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are partic-
ularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-
et elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
