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.
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.
Overload Protection
Helps protect tool from excessive heat that may
damage motor. If tool stops or slows during
operation, allow motor to cool for 30 seconds
Let the grinder accessory
come to a complete stop
before setting the tool down. The brake action
of this grinder is not intended as a safety fea-
ture. Using the appropriate guard when operat-
ing the grinder is your best protection against
unintentional contact with a spinning accesso-
ry. Unintended contact with a rotating acces-
sory can cause property damage and\or per-
sonal 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
power 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. Unex-
pected run down time may cause property
damage and/or personal injury.
Your grinder is equipped with an automatic
electric brake which is designed to rapidly stop
the accessory from spinning after you release
the trigger switch. This feature helps improve
jobsite productivity.
Functional Descriptions
Brake Operation
-16-
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
approximately 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 sus-
pected.
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 reli-
ability, but unexpected circumstances such as
contamination or failure of the motor's com-
ponents can cause the brake to not activate. If
the tool operates but the brake does not con-
sistently stop the accessory, DO NOT use the
grinder and have it serviced by a Bosch Factory
Service Center or Bosch authorized service fa-
cility.
