Do not reduce the speed of running down cut-
ting discs by applying sideward pressure.
Cutting Stone (see figure A)
For cutting stone, always work with the cut-
ting guide with dust extraction protection
guard 17.
The machine may be used only for dry cut-
ting/grinding.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond
cutting disc. As a safety measure against jam-
ming, the cutting guide with dust extraction pro-
tection guard 17 must be used.
Operate the machine only with dust extraction
and additionally wear a dust protection mask.
The vacuum cleaner must be approved for the
extraction of masonry dust. Bosch provides suit-
able vacuum cleaners.
For cutting expecially hard material, e. g., con-
crete with high pebble content, the diamond
cutting disc can overheat and become damaged
as a result. This is clearly indicated by circular
sparking, rotating with the diamond cutting
disc.
Bosch Power Tools
The machine must
always work in an
up-grinding mo-
tion. Otherwise,
the danger exists
of it being pushed
uncontrolled out
of the cut.
When cutting pro-
files and square
bar, it is best to
start at the small
est cross section.
Switch on the ma-
chine and place
the front part of
the cutting guide
on the workpiece.
Slide the machine
with moderate
feed, adapted to
the material to be
worked.
In this case, interrupt the cutting process and al-
low the diamond cutting disc to cool by running
the machine for a short time at maximum speed
with no load.
Noticeable decreasing work progress and circu-
lar sparking are indications of a diamond cutting
disc that has become dull. Briefly cutting into
abrasive material (e. g. lime-sand brick) can re-
sharpen the disc again.
Information on Structures
Slots in structural walls are subject to the
Standard DIN 1053 Part 1, or country-specific
regulations.
These regulations are to be observed under all
circumstances. Before beginning work, consult
the responsible structural engineer, architect or
the construction supervisor.
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 ex-
traction as far as possible. Blow out ventila-
tion slots frequently and install a residual
current device (RCD). When working metals,
conductive dust can settle in the interior of
the power tool. The total insulation of the
power tool can be impaired.
Please store and handle the accessory(-ies)
carefully.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing 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 include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
