❸ Move the sanding plate (5) against the sanding plate
holder from below and press it firmly into place.
❹ Push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the
way to the left.
If the front tip of the sanding sheet has worn down, the en-
tire sanding plate can be removed, rotated 120° and put
back on again for reuse.
Special Sanding Plates
You can replace the standard supplied sanding plate (5) with
one of the special sanding plates that are available as ac-
cessories.
Special sanding plates are fitted in exactly the same way as
the standard supplied sanding plate.
Likewise, each sanding sheet is attached and removed in ex-
actly the same way as the original sanding sheet.
Louvre Sanding Attachment (see figure E)
The louvre sanding attachment (11) allows you to work on
areas that are particularly difficult to reach, such as slats on
windows, cupboards and doors.
Sanding Finger, Flat (see figure F)
The flat sanding finger (13) allows you to work on narrow
slits and tight gaps.
Sanding Finger, Oval (see figure G)
The oval sanding finger (14) allows you to work on curves,
hollow parts and concave surfaces, such as those found on
items of furniture, handrails and radiators.
Operation

Starting Operation

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
230 V can also be operated at 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching On/Off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, tilt the on/off switch (1) to-
ward the right to the "I" position.
To switch off the power tool, tilt the on/off switch (1) to-
ward the left to the "O" position.
Practical advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
The material removal rate when sanding is primarily determ-
ined by the choice of sanding sheet.

Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding per-
formance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to in-
crease the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to
increased sanding performance, rather it will cause more
severe wear of the power tool and of the sanding sheet.
To sand corners, edges and hard-to-reach areas accurately,
you can also work with the tips alone or with an edge of the
sanding plate.
Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has
been used to work on metal.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and cleaning

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.

u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by a
customer service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
