Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.
Work with moderate feed and carry out the sanding with par-
allel and overlapping strokes. Sand in the direction of the
grain; sanding across the grain produces an uneven sanding
effect.
Particularly when sanding coats of varnish, sand in the direc-
tion of the grain as the varnish could melt and smear the sur-
face of the workpiece and the sanding belt. Therefore, work
with dust extraction.
A sanding belt used for sanding metal should not be used for
other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
Store sanding belts only hanging; avoid creasing, as this
makes the belts unusable.
The sanding frame (accessory) allows for uniform and con-
trollable removal capacity when surface grinding larger wood-
en surfaces.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Remove adherent sanding dust with a brush.
Cleaning the Dust Passage (see figure B)
From time to time, remove the protection cover 11 and clean
the dust passage 12 so that the suction capacity remains at an
optimum level.
Changing the Graphit Plate (Accessory) (see figure C)
The graphite plate 13 (accessory) is screwed onto the guide
plate 14 and enables an optimum sanding pattern.
The graphite plate 13 is subject to wear, depending on the in-
tensity of usage. To change the graphite plate 13, remove the
sanding belt 2. Unscrew the graphite plate 13 and replace it.
After mounting the sanding belt, adjust the belt run as de-
scribed in section "Changing the Sanding Belt" on page 13.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken in manufac-
turing 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 in-
clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
