Use And Care Manual

Note: Do not wash the microfilter with soap
and water. Dust may become more firmly
lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust
collection, and damage the micro filter.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, empty and
clean the canister and microfilter frequently.
ATTACHING A VACUUM CLEANER
Dust collection can also be achieved by at-
taching the tool to a vacuum cleaner / dust
extractor, hose and adapter, if necessary (all
sold separately).
1. Attach the hose to the vacuum cleaner /
dust extractor.
2. Attach the hose to the tool’s dust port 14 in
one of the following ways (Fig. 10):
- Bosch VH-series hoses 17 - The VX120
hose adapter 16 is required (included with
VH-series hoses).
- Other 35mm and 22mm hoses 15, such
as the Bosch VAC-series hoses - Connect
hose directly to the tool.
- Common 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” hoses 19 - The
Bosch VAC024 adapter 18 is required.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially
detrimental to health or may be carcinogenic,
use a vacuum cleaner that is specifically de-
signed for that purpose.
When sanding on vertical surfaces, hold the
power tool in such a manner that the vacuum
hose faces downward.

Operating Instructions
ROCKER “ON/OFF” SWITCH
To turn the tool ON or OFF: Push IN the
switch rocker to the left or right side of the
tool. Always hold the sander off the work when
turning the switch ON or OFF.
See START OF SANDING on page 11.
SANDING SHEETS (SANDPAPER)
Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or other syn-
thetic abrasives are recommended for power
sanding use. Natural abrasives, such as flint
or garnet sheet are too soft for economical
use in power sanding. For best results, use
Bosch sanding sheets: The uniform spacing
between grains minimizes filling or loading.
The high quality aluminum oxide sheet with
heavy backing cuts faster and lasts longer.
The following are recommended sanding
sheets and applications:
