Initial Operation
Always use the correct supply voltage:
voltage of the power source must agree with the
value given on the nameplate of the machine.
Machines designated for 230 V can also be
operated with 220 V.
Switching on and off
Switching on: Set ON/OFF switch 1 to "I".
Switching off: Set ON/OFF switch 1 to "0".
Dust Extraction
Dust extraction prevents large accu-
mulations of dust, high concentrations
of dust in the ambient air and facili-
tates disposal.
For long periods of working with wood
or for commercial use on materials
that produce dust that is detrimental
to health, the machine is to be con-
nected to a suitable external dust ex-
traction device.
Note: When working without a dust vacuum, plug 8
must be inserted in vacuum socket 7.
Paper dust bag
Push dust bag 6 on adapter 5. Ensure that adapter
engages in provided holder on dust bag. Insert dust
bag with adapter in vacuum socket 7.
Empty or replace dust bag 6 regularly to ensure op-
timum dust extraction.
Tissue dust bag (Accessory)
Push dust bag 10 on adapter 5. Ensure that adapter
engages in provided holder on dust bag. Insert dust
bag with adapter in vacuum socket 7.
External dust extraction with vacuum
cleaner
A vacuum adapter must be utilized when a vacuum
cleaner is used for external dust extraction (Acces-
sory).
The appliance can be plugged directly into the
socket of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner which
incorporates a remote-control start device. The vac-
uum cleaner automatically starts when the appliance
is switched on.

tion into unperforated sanding sheets.
