Dust/Chip Extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box
(see figures C1–C4)
Place the dust box (3) onto the extraction outlet (8) until it
clicks into place.
To empty the dust box (3), pull the dust box downwards.
Before opening the dust box (3), knock the dust box against
a firm surface as shown in the figure to loosen the dust from
the filter element.
Take hold of the dust box (3) by the recessed grip, fold the
filter element (9) upwards out of the way and empty the dust
box. Use a soft brush to clean the flaps of the filter element
(9).
External dust extraction (see figure D)
Insert the dust extraction adapter (11) (accessory) into an
extraction hose (10) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (11) to the ex-
traction outlet (8) on the power tool and the extraction
hose (10) to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
Bosch Power Tools
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
Grit
worked.
Medium 80, 100,
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
120
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Fine 180, 240
Operation
40–320

Starting Operation

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
Coarse 40, 60
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
Medium 80, 100,
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
120
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
Fine 180, 240,
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
320
of 30 mA or less.
Switching On and Off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (2) forwards
and into the "I" position.
To turn off the power tool, push the on/off switch (2) for-
wards and into the "0" position.
Preselecting the orbital stroke rate (PSS 250 AE)
You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during opera-
tion using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection
thumbwheel (1).
The required orbital stroke rate is dependent on the material
and the work conditions and can be determined using prac-
tical tests.

Working 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 and the preselected or-
bital stroke rate (PSS 250 AE).
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.
Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has
been used to work on metal.
Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.
