workpiece, different fleece types or polishing
cloth pads are to be used.
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 1
downward to position “1”.
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off
switch 1 upward to positon “0”.
Working Advice
f Wait until the machine has come to a stand-
still before placing it down.
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly de-
termined by the selection of the sanding sheet.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sand-
ing capacity and extend the service life of the ma-
chine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure;
this increases the working life of the sanding
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.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, cor-
ners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible
to work only with the tip or an edge of the sand-
ing plate.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
f Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
f For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article number
given on the type plate of the machine.
