Dust Extraction; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch PDA 240 E Bedienungsanleitung

Sanding Tongue, Flat (see figure
The flat sanding tongue 11 is used, e. g., for
sanding of narrow slots and in tight spaces.
Additionally, it can also be fitted on the top side
with a Velcro backing 10 for attaching sanding
sheets 9.
Sanding Tongue, Oval (see figure
The oval sanding tongue 12 is already equipped
with Velcro backing on both sides, which also al-
lows for double-sided fitting of sanding sheets 9.
This is especially convenient for sanding curves
and hollow spaces or arched surfaces as can be
found on furniture, banisters or radiators.

Dust Extraction

The dust that is produced while working can
be detrimental to health, inflammable or ex-
plosive. Suitable safety measures are re-
quired.
Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust /chip extraction
and wear a dust respirator.
Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Al-
ways keep the workplace clean, as blends of
materials are particularly dangerous.
The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote control starting. The vacuum cleaner
starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
For external dust extraction with a vacuum
cleaner, an extraction adapter must be used as
required (see accessories). Insert extraction
adapter and vacuum connection firmly.

Operating Instructions
The removal performance when sanding is deter-
mined primarily by the selection of the sanding
sheet and the oscillation rate (PDA 240 E).
For precise on-the-spot sanding of corners,
edges and hard to reach areas, working is possi-
) ble only with the tip or an edge of the sanding
C
plate.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good
sanding capacity and make the machine last
longer.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pres-
sure; this increases the working life of the
sanding sheets.
Intensifying the sanding pressure does not
lead to an increase of the sanding capacity,
but to increased wear of the machine and the
sanding tools.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding sheets,
polishing tools and accessories.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and the ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit order number
given on the nameplate of the machine.
WARNING! Important instructions for con-
necting a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to
the following code:
strain relief
live = brown
neutral = blue
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the
earth terminal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is
removed from the cable of this machine, it must
be disposed of safely.
