Working Advice

Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery from the power tool. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.

Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.

The material removal rate when sanding is primarily determined by the choice of sanding sheet and the preselected orbital stroke rate .

Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding performance and make the power tool last longer. Switch the power tool on, place the entire sanding surface against the surface of the workpiece and apply moderate pressure as you move the sander over the workpiece.

Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to increase the lifetime of the sanding sheets.

Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to increased sanding performance; rather, it will cause more severe wear of the power tool and premature failure of the sanding plate.

Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has been used to work on metal.

Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.
