WARNING! “READ ALL INSTRUC-

TIONS”. Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by the BULLET (•) symbols listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury. Keep these operating instructions with this product.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

for all Power Tools

Work Area

• KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools to rain. Keep work area well lit.

BM 3609929341 12/03 12/16/03, 11:40 AM3

• AVOID GASEOUS AREAS. Do not operate portable electric tools in explosive atmospheres in presence of flammable liquids or gases. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work areas.

Personal Safety

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerator enclosures. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors, where damp or wet ground may be encountered. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protected power line must be used for these conditions.

• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES or glasses with side shields. Wear hearing protection during extended use of power tools and dust mask for dusty operations.

• STAY ALERT. USE COMMON SENSE. Watch what you are doing. Do not operate tool when you are tired or under influence of drugs.

•

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged in tool with finger on switch. Be sure the switch is OFF before being plugged in.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• BEFORE CONNECTING THE TOOL to a power supply (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the tool’s nameplate. A power supply with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power supply with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

“Volts AC” designated tools are for Alternating Current 50-60 Hz only. “Volts DC” designated tools are for Direct Current. Do not use AC designated tools with DC power supply. Do not

electronic speed controlled tools with DC

use power supply.

Tool Use and Care

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended - for example; don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Always keep cord away from the spinning blade, bits or any other moving part while the tool is in use.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for use outdoors and marked with suffix W-A (for UL), or W (for CSA). Refer to section “Extension Cords”, for proper cord use.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc.

• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high or locked up place - out of the reach of children.

• DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL. These tools are precision built. Any alterations or modifications not specified is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.

• THE USE OF ANY ACCESSORIES not specified in this manual may create a hazard.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be promptly and properly repaired or replaced. Have defective switches replaced. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

• ALL REPAIRS, ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL, should be attempted only by trained repairmen. Contact the nearest Bosch Factory Service Center, or Bosch Authorized Service Center or other competent repair center. Use only Bosch replacement parts, any other may create a hazard.

Die/Straight Grinder Safety Rules

• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel, (Model 1214). A guard protects opera-

tor from broken wheel fragments. When using grinding wheel attachments, the guard must always be attached to the tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed from the side the tool is being operated.

• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running

over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. Grinding wheels or any other accessory must have a maximum safe operating speed greater than the “no load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate.

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Before using a grinder or installing a new wheel, inspect the grinding wheel for chips and cracks. Remove bad wheels immediately. Run the tool at no load for one minute, holding the tool in the direction away from people. Wheels with flaws will normally break

apart during this time.

• Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use.

• Inspect your workpiece before grinding.

• Do not reach in the area of the spinning accessory. The proximity of the spinning

accessory to your hand may not always be obvious.

• Always hold the tool firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction torque of the

motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

• Let the accessory reach its full set speed before contacting the workpiece. Never start the tool while engaged in the material. The

accessory cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the tool.

• Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching any accessories. You may

unexpectedly cause the tool to start, leading to serious personal injury.

• Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a

complete stop it is safe to put it down.

• Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate the

switch.

• Do not touch the accessory or collet after use. After use the accessory and collet are too

hot to be touched by bare hands.

• The direction of feed with the accessory into the material when grinding, is very important. Always feed the accessory into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).

Feeding the tool in the wrong direction, causes the cutting edge of the accessory to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

• If the workpiece or accessory becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool

is left “ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.

• Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your tool to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless frac-

tion of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

• Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury.

Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Double Insulated Tools

• Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with

double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. WHEN SERVICE IS REQUIRED USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

POLARIZED PLUGS: If your tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not change the plug in any way.

Extension Cords

• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and amperage rating on the tool’s nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

The "Tri-Control" Paddle Switch enables the operator to control switch functions of "LockOFF", "ON/OFF" and "Lock-ON".

TO UNLOCK SWITCH AND TURN TOOL "ON": Push the paddle lever 4 FORWARD toward the spindle just enough to allow the paddle lever to be squeezed and activiate the switch.

TO SWITCH TOOL "OFF": Release pressure on the paddle lever. The switch is spring loaded and will return to "OFF" position automatically.

The"Lock-ON" feature, incorporated into the paddle switch, is a convenience for long operations.

TO LOCK SWITCH "ON": After switch has been activated, PUSH the paddle lever completely FORWARD and release pressure on the paddle lever.

TO UNLOCK AND SWITCH TOOL "OFF": Squeeze and then release the paddle lever. The switch is spring loaded and will return to "OFF" position automatically.

Slide On-Off Switch With Lock

(Models 1210 & 1215)

The tool is switched “ON” by the switch button located at the side of the motor housing. The switch can be locked in the “ON” position, a convenience for long grinding operations.

To turn the tool “ON” without locking it, slide the switch button 5 forward by applying pressure ONLY at the REAR portion of the button. When pressure is released the switch button will snap to “OFF” position.

TO LOCK THE SWITCH “ON”, slide the switch button forward and press “IN” the FRONT portion.

TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, simply press and release the REAR portion of the button. Switch is spring loaded and will snap back automatically.

WARNING! Hold the tool with both hands while starting the tool, since torque from the motor can cause the tool to twist.

BM 3609929341 12/03 12/16/03, 11:40 AM6

Start the tool before applying to work and let the tool come to full speed before contacting the workpiece. Lift the tool from the work before releasing the switch. DO NOT turn the switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is under load; this will greatly decrease the switch life.

Grinding Wheels

WARNING! Before using a grinding wheel,

be certain that its maximum safe operating speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the grinder. Do not exceed the recommended wheel diameter.

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.

Maintenance and Service

WARNING! Preventive maintenance per-

formed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed at Bosch Factory Service Center.

Tool Lubrication

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use. We recommend, that the tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every time the brushes are changed.

Carbon Brushes

The brushes and commutator in your Bosch tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak effi-

ciency of the motor, we recommend every two to six month the brushes be examined. Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

Bearings

After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at every second brush change, the bearings should be replaced at a Bosch Factory Service Center. Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid overheating and motor failure.

Cleaning

WARNING! To avoid accidents, always

disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.

Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.

CAUTION! Certain cleaning agents and

solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
