Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of fil-
trating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur-
face 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 cloth-
ing, 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 accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical 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
may not clamp properly resulting in per-
sonal injury 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
160992A4FH 05-19 GWX18V-50PC.indd 6
tool causing personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage.
Always inspect accessory mount and ac-
cessory clamping flange before use. Do
not use the tool or accessory if the ac-
cessory mount or accessory is damaged
or deformed. Accessories that are not
clamped properly may cause personal in-
jury and/or property damage.
Check for presence or buildup of foreign
material on tool and accessory clamping
surfaces and remove before use. Unwant-
ed material can cause incomplete clamp-
ing and may cause personal injury and/or
property damage.
Never actuate X-Lock Release Lever while
accessory is moving. Make sure that the
accessory has come to a complete stop
before removing the accessory. Releasing
accessory while still spinning could cause
personal injury and/or property damage.

▶ 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 rotat-
ing accessory which in turn causes the un-
controlled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory's rota-
tion 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 to-
ward or away from the operator, depend-
ing 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 misuse
accessories
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
