Bosch GWS18V-13C Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Seguridad página 13

Kickback Control:
The electronics in the power tool detects situ-
ations where the wheel or accessory may be at
risk to bind. The electronics prevents further
rotation of the drive spindle by switching the
power tool off (it does not prevent kickback). To
resume operation, turn on/off switch to the off
position, then restart tool.
Constant Response Circuitry:
Helps maintain near constant RPMs between
no-load and load conditions.
Soft Start:
Helps reduce stress on the motor that occurs
from a high torque start. Helps bring accessory
smoothly up to speed.
Automatic Restart Protection:
Helps prevent accidental startups after power
has been interrupted, e.g. the tool was un-
plugged with the switch locked in the on posi-
tion. To resume operation, turn on/off switch to
the off position, then restart the tool.
Let the grinder accessory
come to a complete stop be-
fore setting the tool down. The brake action of
this grinder is not intended as a safety feature.
Using the appropriate guard when operating the
grinder is your best protection against uninten-
tional contact with a spinning accessory. Unin-
tended contact with a rotating accessory can
cause property damage and\or personal injury.
Know the charge state of
your battery. The electric
braking action is initiated ONLY by the release
of the trigger switch and in a tool that has pow-
er available. When electrical power is lost due
to a discharged battery or other causes, the
electric brake will not operate and the motor
will gradually slow down. Unexpected run down
time may cause property damage and/or per-
sonal injury.

Functional Descriptions
Overload Protection:
Helps protect tool from excessive heat that may
damage motor. If tool stops or slows during op-
eration, allow motor to cool for 30 seconds by
running no-load. If the overload protection stops
the tool repeatedly, excessive force is causing
the tool to overload. Stop excessive force and
readjust work piece to reduce force applied.
Drop Control:
The power tool is equipped with sensors that
detect impact to the grinder. The tool will turn
off if it is dropped on most hard surfaces from
height greater than one foot, or hit with force ap-
proximately equivalent to more than a one foot
drop. After any impact or activation of the shut
off feature, always inspect the grinder and the
battery for signs of damage and do not use the
tool or the battery if any damage is suspected.
Brake Operation
Your grinder is equipped with an automatic elec-
tric brake which is designed to rapidly stop the
accessory from spinning after you release the
trigger switch. This feature helps improve job-
site productivity.
Braking starts once the power is turned off. The
brake requires a charged battery to function.
Stopping time will vary depending on, among
other factors, accessory used, and number of
actuations. The electric brake of your grinder
has been designed for a high degree of reliabil-
ity, but unexpected circumstances such as con-
tamination or failure of the motor's components
can cause the brake to not activate. If the tool
operates but the brake does not consistently
stop the accessory, DO NOT use the grinder and
have it serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Cen-
ter or Bosch authorized service facility.
