Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
Only use Bosch or Bosch licensed X-Lock
accessories. Incompatible accessories may
not clamp properly resulting in personal in-
jury and/or property damage.
Confirm proper clamping by ensuring that
top of the accessory flange surface is not
above the top of the accessory height gage.
Accessories that are above the accessory
height gage may not be clamped properly
and separate from the tool causing personal
injury and/or property damage.
Always inspect accessory mount and acces-
sory clamping flange before use. Do not use
the tool or accessory if the accessory mount
or accessory is damaged or deformed. Ac-
cessories that are not clamped properly may
cause personal injury and/or property dam-
age.
Check for presence or buildup of foreign
material on tool and accessory clamping
surfaces and remove before use. Unwanted
material can cause incomplete clamping and
may cause personal injury and/or property
damage.
Never actuate X-Lock Release Lever while
accessory is moving. Make sure that the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop before
removing the accessory. Releasing acces-
sory while still spinning could cause personal
injury and/or property damage.

Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings page heading
Kickback and Related Warnings
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 acces-
sory which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction op-
posite 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 caus-
ing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The
wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the
wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool mis-
use and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided 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. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control torque re-
actions or kickback forces, if proper precau-
tions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating ac-
cessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction op-
posite to the wheel's movement at the point
of snagging.
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotat-
ing accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
