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.
Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has
been used to work on metal.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
Rough Sanding
Attach a coarse grit sanding sheet.
Apply only light pressure to the power tool so that it runs at a
higher orbital stroke rate and a higher material removal rate
is achieved.
Fine Sanding
Attach a fine grit sanding sheet.
You can reduce the sanding plate orbital stroke rate by
lightly varying the contact pressure or changing the orbital
stroke rate level; the random orbit motion will be retained.
Move the power tool with moderate pressure flat on the
workpiece in a circular motion or alternately along and
across it. Do not tilt the power tool in order to avoid sanding
through the workpiece, e.g. veneers.
Switch the power tool off after completing operation.
Polieren
For polishing weathered lacquers and redressing scratches
(e.g. acrylic glass), the power tool can be fitted with an ap-
propriate polishing tool, e.g. lambswool bonnet, polishing
felt or polishing sponge (accessory).
Select a low orbital stroke rate (level 1–2) when polishing in
order to avoid heating up the surface excessively.
Apply the polish to an area slightly smaller than the area
which you intend to polish. Using the appropriate polishing
tool, work in the polish with either linear or circular move-
ments and with moderate pressure.
Do not allow the polish to dry out on the surface; this may
damage the surface. Do not expose the surface which you in-
tend to polish to direct sunlight.
Clean the polishing tool regularly to ensure good polishing
results. Wash the polishing tools with mild detergent and
warm water; do not use thinning agents.
