The power tool may be used only for dry cutting/grind-
u
ing.
For best results when cutting stone, use a diamond cutting
disc.
When using the extraction guard for cutting with a cutting
guide (32), the vacuum cleaner must be approved for vacu-
uming stone dust. Suitable vacuum cleaners are available
from Bosch.
crete with a 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 dia-
mond cutting disc.
If this happens, stop cutting and allow the diamond cutting
disc to cool down by running the power tool for a short time
at maximum speed with no load.
If work is noticeably slower and with circular sparking, this
indicates that the diamond cutting disc that has become
dull. You can resharpen the disc by briefly cutting into abras-
ive material (e.g. lime-sand brick).
Cutting other materials
For cutting materials such as plastic, composite ma-
u
terials, etc. with bonded cutting discs or Carbide Multi
Wheel cutting discs, always use the protective guard
for cutting (12). You can achieve improved dust ex-
traction by using the extraction guard with a cutting
guide (32).
Working with Diamond Annular Cutters
Only use dry diamond annular cutters.
u
Always fit the hand guard (23) when working with dia-
u
mond annular cutters.
Do not place the diamond annular cutter parallel to the work-
piece. Plunge it into the workpiece at an angle and in a circu-
lar motion. This will allow you to achieve optimal cooling and
ensure a longer tool life for the diamond annular cutter.

Recesses in load-bearing walls are subject to country-spe-
cific regulations. These regulations must be observed under
all circumstances. Seek advice from the responsible struc-

Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
