Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials

containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable

for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the

materials to be worked.

f Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can

easily ignite.

Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box

(see Fig. A1 – A4)

Attach the dust box 2 onto the extraction outlet 7 until it

latches.

To empty the dust box 2, press the latching levers 3 on the

side of the dust box (n). Pull off the dust box toward the bot-

tom (o).

Before opening the dust box 2, it is recommended to loosen

the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a

firm support (as shown in the figure).

Grasp the dust box 2 by the recessed grip, fold the filter ele-

ment 8 upward and empty the dust box. Clean the thin plates

of the filter element 8 with a soft brush.

External Dust Extraction (see figure B)

Slide the extraction adapter 9 onto the outlet piece 7. Ensure

that the latching levers of the extraction adapter engage. The

extraction adapter 9 accepts a vacuum hose with a diameter

of 19 mm.

Connect the vacuum hose 10 to a vacuum cleaner (accesso-

ry). An overview for connecting to various vacuum cleaners

can be found at the end of this manual.

For removal of the extraction adapter 9, press the latching le-

vers together at the rear and pull the extraction adapter off.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being

worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to

health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Replacing the Sanding Sheet (see figure C)

When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-

bris from the sanding plate 5 (e. g. with a brush).

To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the

punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in

the sanding plate.

The sanding plate 5 is fitted with Velcro backing for quick and

easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro adhesion.

Before attaching the sanding sheet 4, free the Velcro backing

of the sanding plate 5 from any debris by tapping against it in

order to enable optimum adhesion.

The machine is fitted with 2 sanding sheets that can be

changed individually, depending on the degree of wear.

f Only use the machine when both sanding sheets are

mounted.

f Only use sanding sheets with the same grain size.

Position the sanding sheet 4 flush alongside one edge of the

sanding plate 5, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding

plate and press firmly.

To remove the sanding sheet 4, grasp it at one of the tips and

pull it off from the sanding plate 5.

Sanding sheets of the Bosch Delta Sander can be used.

Sanding accessories, such as fleece pads/polishing cloth

pads, are attached to the sanding plate in the same manner.

Selecting the Sanding Sheet

Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate

of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:

For reworking or polishing, especially of metal and stone, use

fleece/polishing cloth pad.

Depending on the desired surface quality of the workpiece,

different fleece types or polishing cloth pads are to be used.

Replacing the Sanding Plate (see figure D)

n Slide the SDS button for release of the sanding plate 6 all

the way to the right.

o Remove the sanding plate 5.

p Guide the sanding plate 5 from below against the sand-

ing plate holder and firmly press them together.

q Slide the SDS button for release of the sanding plate 6 all

the way to the left.

If, e. g., the front tip of the sanding sheet is worn, you can also

remove the complete sanding plate and reattach it turned by

120°.

Specialty Sanding Plates

You can replace the supplied sanding plate 5 with a specialty

sanding plate, which is available as an accessory.

The specialty sanding plate is attached in the same manner as

the one supplied.

Attach and remove the respective sanding sheets in the same

manner as when changing original sanding sheets.
