Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, push the On/Off switch 5 forwards.
To lock the On/Off switch 5, press the On/Off switch 5 down
at the front until it latches.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off switch 5 or,
if it is locked, briefly push down the back of the On/Off switch
5 and then release it.
Check grinding tools before using. The grinding tool must
be mounted properly and be able to move freely. Carry out
a test run for at least one minute with no load. Do not use
damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating grinding tools. Dam-
aged grinding tools can burst and cause injuries.
Constant Electronic Control (GGS 7 C/GGS 27 LC)
Constant electronic control holds the speed constant at no-load
and under load, and ensures uniform working performance.
Speed preselection (GGS 7 C/GGS 27 LC)
The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel
6 (also while running).
The required speed depends on the material to be worked
and the diameter of the tool. Determine the optimum setting
through practical testing.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as
far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently
and install a residual current device (RCD). When work-
ing metals, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the
power tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be im-
paired.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by
an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order, please always in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
