Special Sanding Plates
You can replace the standard supplied sanding plate (10)
with one of the special sanding plates that are available as
accessories.
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.
The operation of the special sanding plates is only permitted
with a mounted rear sanding plate (11).
Louvre Sanding Attachment (see figure H)
The louvre sanding attachment (18) 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 I)
The flat sanding finger (20) allows you to work on narrow
slits and tight gaps.
The sanding sheet for the sanding finger (19) is fitted in the
same way as the front sanding sheet (17).
Sanding Finger, Oval (see figure I)
The oval sanding finger (21) allows you to work on curves,
hollow parts and concave surfaces, such as those found on
items of furniture, handrails and radiators.
The sanding sheet for the sanding finger (19) is fitted in the
same way as the front sanding sheet (17).
Operation

Starting Operation

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 (2) to-
ward the right to the "I" position.
To switch off the power tool, tilt the on/off switch (2) to-
ward the left to the "O" position.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat-
tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power
tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the
optimum operating temperature range.
Preselecting the orbital stroke rate
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.

Practical advice

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
Select a low speed when polishing in order to avoid heating
up the surface excessively.
The material removal rate when sanding is primarily determ-
ined by the choice of sanding sheet and the preselected or-
bital stroke rate (1).
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

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u

changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
