Switching On and Off

To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 1 forward so

that the “I” is indicated on the switch.

To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 1 toward

the rear so that the “0” is indicated on the switch.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

The Lithium-Ion battery is protected against deep discharging

by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is

empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective

circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

Note: If the machine should automatically switch off because

of a discharged or overheated battery, make sure to set the

machine’s On/Off switch 1 to off. Charge the battery and al-

low it to cool down before restarting the machine. Otherwise

the battery can become damaged.

Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate

With the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke

rate 4, you can preselect the required orbital stroke rate, even

during operation.

The required stroke rate depends on the material and the

working conditions and can be determined through practical

testing.

Working Advice

 Before any work on the machine itself (e.g. mainte-

nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport

and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.

There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating

the On/Off switch.

 Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before

placing it down.

Note: Do not cover off the venting slots 2 of the machine while

working, as this reduces the working life of the machine.

Operating Principle

Due to the oscillating drive the application tool/accessory

swings up to 20000 times per minute for 2.8°. This allows for

precise work in narrow spaces.

Work with low and uniform application

pressure, otherwise, the working perfor-

mance will decline and the application tool

can become blocked.

While working, move the machine back and

forth, so that the application tool does not

heat up excessively and become blocked.

Sawing

 Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect con-

dition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ-

ence the cut, or lead to kickback.

 When sawing light building materials, observe the

statutory provisions and the recommendations of the

material suppliers.

 Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such

as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!

Before sawing with HCS saw blades in wood, particle board,

building materials, etc., check these for foreign objects such

as nails, screws, or similar. If required, remove foreign ob-

jects or use BIM saw blades.

Separating

Note: When separating wall tiles take into consideration that

the application tools/accessories wear heavily when used for

longer periods of time.

Sanding

The removal rate and the sanding pattern are primarily deter-

mined by the choice of sanding sheet, the preset oscillation

rate and the applied pressure.

Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity

and extend the service life of the machine.

Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this in-

creases the working life of the sanding sheets.

Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead to an in-

crease of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the

machine and the sanding sheet.

For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard to

reach areas, it is also possible to work only with the tip or an

edge of the sanding plate.

When selectively sanding on the spot, the sanding sheet can

heat up considerably. Reduce the orbital stroke rate and the

sanding pressure, and allow the sanding sheet to cool down

regularly.

A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be

used for other materials.

Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.

For sanding, always connect the dust extraction.

Scraping

For scraping, select a high oscillation rate.

Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) at a flat ange, and apply

only light pressure. Otherwise the scraper can cut into the

surface.

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection

When using as intended for, the machine cannot be overload-

ed. In case of excessive loading or when exceeding the allow-

able battery temperature range of 0–70 °C, the speed is re-

duced or the machine switches off. In case of reduced speed,

the machine will not run at full speed until after reaching the

allowable battery temperature again. In case of automatic

shut-off, switch the machine off, allow the battery to cool

down and then switch the machine on again.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between

0 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the

car in summer.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-

cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.
