Bosch Easy Cordless Cut & Grind
Safety Instructions
- Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
- Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
- Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
- There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
- Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
- Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
- Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
- Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
- A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
- A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Intended Use
The power tool is intended for cutting metal and wood-based materials and plastics without the use of water. With approved abrasive tools, the power tool can be used for sanding with sanding discs.

Technical Data
Rechargeable Battery
Charging the battery
- For charging, use the recommended USB power supply unit or a power supply unit with 5 V and at least 1.0 A. Observe the operating manual of the USB power supply unit. Recommended power supply unit: See “Technical Data” section.
- Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the type plate of the power supply.
Battery charge indicator
The battery charge indicator displays the battery’s state of charge for a few seconds when switching on the power tool. When charging, the battery charge indicator goes out a few minutes after the battery has been fully charged.
Fitting
Adjusting the Hood (see figure A)
Fitting the Abrasive Tools
- Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have cooled down. The discs can become very hot while working.
- Only change the abrasive tool when the power tool is locked (see “Switching on/off”, page 23). Clean the grinding spindle (12) and all parts to be mounted. To tighten or loosen the abrasive tools, press the spindle lock button (6) and simultaneously turn the grinding tool to fix the grinding spindle in place.
- Do not press the spindle lock button while the grinding spindle is moving. The power tool may become damaged if you do this.
Sanding plate/cutting disc
Pay attention to the dimensions of the abrasive tools. The diameter of the hole must match that of the mounting flange. Do not use an adapter or reducer. To remove the grinding/cutting disc (8), press the spindle lock button (6) while simultaneously turning on the grinding/ cutting disc (8) to fix the grinding spindle (12) in place. Use the hex key of the transportation cover (13) to remove the clamping bolt with washer (15). 
The bolt is flush with the grinding/cutting disc (8).
After fitting the abrasive tool, check that the abrasive tool is fitted correctly and can turn freely before switching on the power tool. Make sure that the abrasive tool does not brush against the protective guard or other parts.
Approved abrasive tools
You can use all the abrasive tools mentioned in these operating instructions. The permissible speed [min-1] or the circumferential speed [m/s] of the abrasive tools used must at least match the values given in the table. It is therefore important to observe the permissible rotational/circumferential speed on the label of the abrasive tool.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touching or breathing in the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections in the user or bystanders.\ Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked on by specialists.
- Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
- It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
- Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked with.
- Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
Operation
- Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a stop.
- Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls; see the “Information on structural design” section.
- Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own weight.
- If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load, continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to cool down the accessory.
- When cutting lightweight materials, take into account the statutory provisions and recommendations of the material manufacturer.
- Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
- Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have cooled down. The discs can become very hot while working.
Cutting metal
When carrying out abrasive cutting, use a moderate feed that is suited to the material being machined. Do not exert pressure on the cutting disc and do not tilt or swing the power tool. Do not attempt to reduce the speed of a cutting disc coming to a stop by applying pressure from the side. The power tool must always work in an up-grinding motion. Otherwise, there is a risk that it will be pushed uncontrolled out of the cut. For best results when cutting profiles and rectangular tubing, start at the smallest cross-section.
Information on Structural Design
Recesses in load-bearing walls are subject to country-specific regulations. These regulations must be observed under all circumstances. Seek advice from the responsible structural engineer, architect or construction supervisor before starting work.
Cutting aid (see 
re D)
The cutting aid (14) allows you to make a precise cut when separating materials. Ensure that the cutting aid (14) is firmly engaged before cutting. To do this, turn the cutting aid (14) together with the hood (7) so that the snap-in fin (17) engages in the recess (16).
Transportation cover (see 
Fit the transportation cover (13) to transport the power tool. This serves to prevent injuries and damage.
Start-Up
Switching on/off
To unlock the power tool, press the lock-off button (4). The status LED (1) lights up green. Then press the on/off switch (5) and keep it pressed down to switch on the power
tool. While the status LED (1) is lit green, the power tool is unlocked. To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5). Then press the lock-off button (4) to lock the power tool. If the power tool has not been switched on for longer than five minutes, it will be locked automatically. If the power tool does not switch off after releasing the on/ off switch (5), press the lock-off button (4).
- Always check abrasive tools before using them. The brasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Maintenance and Service
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean. If the battery is no longer working, please contact authorisedsed after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools. In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch power tools.
