Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing the
wheel to climb out or kickout. The wheel may
either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheels
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.

Before using a grinding wheel,

#"'#
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in
order to use the grinder most efficiently. Wheels
vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit
size and structure. The correct type of wheel to
use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding
wheels for fast grinding of structural steel,
heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel
and other ferrous metals.
"$!#
Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling the
pressure and keep ing the angle between wheel
and workpiece at 10° to 15°. If the wheel is flat,
the tool is difficult to control. If the angle is too
steep, the pressure is concentrated on a small
area causing burning to the work surface.

Excessive or sudden pres-
sure on the wheel will slow
grinding action and put dangerous stresses on
the wheel.
When grinding with a new wheel be certain to
grind while pulling tool backwards until wheel
becomes rounded on its edge. New wheels
have sharp corners which tend to “biteor cut
into work piece when pushing forward.
%$$$
Using the optional type 1A wheel guard, it is
possible to perform limited cutting on small
stock such as metal tubes, piping or rebar.
When cutting, work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut. Do not
exert side pressure onto the cutting disc, tilt
or oscillate the tool. When cutting profiles
and square bar, it is best to start at the
smallest cross section.
Always follow precautions for kickback.
Do not apply side pressure to cutting wheel
to reduce wheel speed.
The tool should always be used so that
sparks are directed away from user.
%$$# ")
Operate the tool only with dust extraction and
additionally wear a dust protection mask. The
vacuum used for this application must be
approved for the extraction of masonry dust.
Bosch sells suitable vacuum cleaners.
When cutting masonry
always use dust extraction
with foot plate. The tool may be used only for
dry cutting. When cutting masonry use a dry
diamond wheel.
Always cut towards the dust extraction port
(Fig. 9).
Turn the tool on and place the front part of the
cutting guide on the workpiece. Slide the tool
with moderate rate of feed, adapted to the
material to be cut.
When doing deep cuts, it is best to cut in
several shallow passes.
When cutting especially hard material, e. g.,
concrete with high pebble content, the dry
diamond wheel can overheat and become
damaged. This is clearly indicated by circular
sparking of the rotating dry diamond wheel.
In this case, interrupt the cutting process and
allow the dry diamond wheel to cool by running
the tool for a short time at maximum speed
with no load.
Noticeable decreasing work progress and
circular sparking are indications of a dry
diamond wheel that has become dull. Briefly
cutting into abrasive materials (e. g. brick) can
resharpen the wheel again.

Sanding discs are made of extremely hard
and sharp aluminum oxide grits, phenol-resin
bonded to a sturdy fiber backing for fast
heavy-duty service and long life. The discs
vary as to size and spacing of the abrasive
grits. OPEN COAT (type H) used for soft
materials and on paint or varnish. CLOSED
COAT (type K) —used for metal, hardwood,
stone, marble and other materials.
Sanding discs range in grit from 16 (very
coarse) to 180 (very fine). To obtain best
results, select sanding discs carefully. Many
jobs require the use of several grit sizes and
at times both open coat and closed coat
discs are required to get the job done faster.
See chart for application examples.

Wire brushes are intended to “clean” structural
steel, castings, sheet metal, stone and
concrete. They are used to remove rust, scale
and paint.
Avoid bouncing and snagging
the wire brush, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This
can cause loss of control and kick-back.
"%#!"##%"
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the
work. Operate the brush with the lightest
pressure so only the tips of the wire come in
contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires
will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping
action; and if this is continued, the life of the
brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way
that as much of the brush face as possible is
in full contact with the work. Applying the side
or edge of the brush to the work will result in
wire breakage and shortened brush life.

For best results, tilt the Disc Sander at a 1 to
15° angle while sanding so that only about 1"
of the surface around the edge of the disc
contacts the work.
If the disc (accessory) is held
flat or the back edge of the
disc comes in contact with the work, a violent
thrust to the side may result.
If sander is tilted too much, sanding action will
be too great and a rough cut surface or
gouging and snagging will result.
Guide the Disc Sander with crosswise strokes.
Be careful not to hold the sander in one spot
too long. Do not use a circular motion, as this
makes swirl marks. Test before use on scrap stock.
Do not force or apply pressure when sanding.
Use only the weight of the tool for pressure.
Excess pressure actually slows the tool down.
If faster stock removal is desired, change to a
coarser grit disc.
Remove gummy paint from metal with an
“open coat” disc. Sand until sparks start to
appear, then stop and change to a “closed
coatdisc to remove any remaining paint.
#'
When sanding wood the direction of the disc
motion at the contact point should parallel the
grain as much as possible. The rapid cut of
discs and the swirl type scratch pattern they
occasionally create generally prohibit their use
for producing the final finish.
Scratches and circular marks are usually the
result of using too coarse a grit. When
changing to a finer grit, move across the sand -
ing lines that were made by a previous coarser
disc.
#$
When sanding automobiles or appliances,
wipe the metal clean with a non-flammable
solvent or commercial cleaner to remove all
wax and grease. By doing this first, the
sanding discs will sand better and last longer.
For heavy duty work, use a coarse grit disc
first. Follow-up with a medium grit to remove
scratches. To produce smooth finish, use fine
grit disc.

Set Forward/Reversing lever to the center (off
position). Slide charged battery pack into the
housing until the battery pack locks into
position (Fig. 7).
Your tool is equipped with a secondary locking
latch to prevent the battery pack from
completely falling out of the handle, should it
become loose due to vibration.
To remove the battery pack, press the battery
pack release button and slide the battery pack
forward.
Press the battery pack release button again
and slide the battery pack completely out of
tool housing (Fig. 7).
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is
not receiving power from power supply outlet.
If the green indicator light is “ON”,
the charger is plugged in but the
battery pack is not inserted, or
the battery pack is fully charged.
If the green indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery pack is
being fast-charged. Fast-charging
will automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
If the red indicator light is “ON”,
the battery pack is too hot or cold
for fast-charging. The charger will
automatically switch to fast-charging once a
suitable temperature is reached.
If the red indicator light is
BLINKING, the battery pack
cannot accept a charge or the
contacts of the charger or battery pack are
contaminated. Clean the contacts of the
charger or battery pack only as directed in
these operating instructions or those supplied
with your tool or battery pack.

1. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the
battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger
will not fast charge the battery. (This may
happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). When the battery temperature returns to
between 3F (0˚C) and 113˚F (4C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
4. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in
some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power “off” when lights
are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger to
your local Bosch Service Center. See “Tools,
Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and
addresses.

Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger’s
green indicator light will go ON. This indicates
the charger is receiving power and the charger
is ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the
charger. The charger’s green indicator light will
begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the battery
is receiving a fast charge (Fig. 8).
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and
becomes a steady green light) fast charging is
complete. The battery pack is fully charged and
can be removed from the charger.
The battery pack may be used even though the
light may still be blinking. The light may require
more time to stop blinking depending on
temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that
the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The light
will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack
was not completely discharged.
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady red light could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
Fast charging is only possible when the
temperature range of the battery pack is
between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). When
needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn
on to aid the charging process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the
correct temperature range, the battery charger
will automatically switch to fast charging.
If the red indicator light is “BLINKING”, the
battery pack cannot accept a charge.
Check to make sure the battery pack is
inserted into the charger properly.
Clean the contacts of the charger or battery
pack (e. g. by inserting and removing the
battery several times) or replace the battery
