External Dust Extraction (see figure I)

Mount a vacuum hose 13 onto the extraction

outlet 11. Connect the vacuum hose 13 with a

vacuum cleaner. An overview for the connection

of various vacuum cleaners can be found at the

end of these instructions.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-

terial being worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-

rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special

vacuum cleaner.

When working vertical surfaces, hold the power

tool in such a manner that the vacuum hose fac-

es downward.

Auxiliary Handle (see figure J)

The auxiliary handle 5 enables convenient

handling and optimal distribution of power, espe-

cially at high removal rates.

For sanding close to edges, the auxiliary handle

can be removed. Unscrew wing nut 14 and pull

screw 15 out of the housing. Now, pull off the

auxiliary handle 5 toward the front.

To remount the auxiliary handle 5, slide it from

the front onto the housing in such a manner that

the studs of the handle engage into the recesses

of the housing. Firmly tighten the auxiliary han-

dle with the screw 15 and the wing nut 14.

Operation

Starting Operation

f Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage

of the power source must agree with the

voltage specified on the nameplate of the

machine. Power tools marked with 230 V

can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 2

forward so that the “1” is indicated on the

switch.

To switch off the machine, push the On/Off

switch 2 toward the rear so that the “0” is indi-

cated on the switch.

Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate

With the thumbwheel for preselection of the or-

bital stroke rate 1, you can preselect the required

orbital stroke rate, even during operation.

The required stroke rate depends on the materi-

al and the working conditions and can be deter-

mined through practical testing.

After longer periods of working at low stroke

rate, allow the machine to cool down by running

it for approx. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate

with no load.

Working Advice

f Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

f Wait until the machine has come to a stand-

still before placing it down.

Sanding Surfaces

Switch the machine on, place it with the com-

plete sanding surface on the surface to be

worked and move the machine with moderate

pressure over the workpiece.

The removal capacity and the sanding pattern

are mainly determined by the selection of the

sanding sheet, the preselected orbital stroke

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 pres-

sure; this increases the working life of the sand-

ing sheets.

Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead

to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-

creased wear of the machine and the sanding

sheet.

A sanding sheet that has been used for metal

should not be used for other materials.

Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.

1–2 Low stroke rate

3–4 Medium stroke rate

5–6 High stroke rate
