Just bought one, got it home, tried to read the instructions to put it together safely, next to useless, pictorials where useless as well. Video clarified a number of small things i was scratching my head about, but now i have safely put it together. Video was very good. Thanks
Thankyou very much for posting this video, I found the instructions truly awful for this and clearly it wouldn’t do for me to get it wrong! Decapitation not a favoured option….your video helped me to put it together I now think correctly! Will still get someone else to check it but at least Ive dared turn it on for a second!
Nice one, the two issues mentioned, one with locking and tightening and the position of the ON button, were enough to put me off, might as well pay a bit extra and get the professional blue one.
I've recently received a (nearly) 40 year old Ryobi corded grinder. It still works great but has no ability to accomodate a side handle. So looking to buy a new corded one for general use, perhaps a little bit of concrete cutting and grinding, and to sharpen the odd garden tool. This might do the job. A few people have suggested I spend a hundred dollars more and get something like a Makita. Might take a punt on this one given it's low price. Like you say, always good to have a few grinders in the kit.
The only good thing in this grinder was the price. I'm thinking about return. The switch is a complete misunderstanding designed by someone without imagination. 10:45
I agree. To date I havn't used this one much.. it's the third in line and my #1 (a Hitachi 18v) is always the go to. It will het more usage when I set up my welding station more permanently.

I trust it goes well. Let me know what you think of the switch after you've used it for a while.

Thanks for letting us know. Can't go wrong with a Bosch in terms of price/performance.
Think the extra hole is so left or right hander can add the side handle
Correct.

Let us know if you keep it. Even with a few flaws I still think it's great value for the money.
@@proto4975 Still with me. 😊 I will do some mod on that switch. Some hump or hook.
I recently bought this and the 'instructikns' on his to set it up are TERRIBLE
