on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinch-
ing. Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-
tions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoid-
ed by taking proper precautions as given below.
 Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precau-
tions are taken.
 Use special care when working corners, sharp edges,
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Cor-
ners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
 Do not use a toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-
quent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.
 Always feed the accessory into the material in the same
direction in which the cutting edge exits the material
(the same direction in which the chips are ejected).
Feeding the power tool in the wrong direction causes the
cutting edge of the accessory to run out of the workpiece,
which causes the power tool to be pulled in this feed direc-
tion.
 Always clamp the workpiece securely when using ro-
tating files, high-speed routing bits or carbide routing
bits. These accessories snag in the groove even upon
slight tilting and can cause kickback. If rotating files, high-
speed routing bits or carbide routing bits snag, the acces-
sory can jump out of the groove and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
 Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
 For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undam-
aged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder
flange that are of correct size and length. Proper man-
drels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
Additional safety warnings
Wear safety goggles.
 Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
Bosch Power Tools
 Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
when the power supply is interrupted, e. g., in case of a
power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This pre-
vents uncontrolled restarting.
 Do not touch abrasive wheels until they have cooled
down. The discs can become very hot while working.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 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
authorised 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
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or
less.
