Rigid scrapers are for large area
removal, and harder materials
such as vinyl flooring, carpeting
and tile ad hesives. When
removing strong, tacky adhesives, grease the
scraper blade surface with (petroleum jelly
or silicone grease) to reduce gumming up.
The carpet/vinyl flooring removes easier if
it is scored prior to removal so the scraper
blade can move underneath the flooring
material.
Flexible scrapers are used for
hard to reach areas and softer
material such as caulk.
Mount the scraper blade with the logo
side facing up. With the flexible scraper,
make sure that the screw head does not
make contact with surface during the
scraping process (a 30 - 45 degree pitch is
recommend). This can be accomplished by
making sure that the tool is at an angle to
the blade. You should be able to see the
blade flex during the scraping process.
If you are removing caulk from a delicate
surface such as a bath tub or tile back
splash, we recommend taping or protecting
the surface that the blade will rest on. Use
rubbing alcohol to clean the surface after
the caulk and/or adhesive is removed.
Turn the tool on and place desired accessory
on the area where material is to be removed.
Begin with light pressure. The oscillating
motion of accessory only occurs when
pressure is applied to the material to be
removed.
Excessive pressure can gouge or damage the
background surfaces (e.g,. wood, plaster).
SANDING
Sanding accessories are suitable
for dry sanding of wood, metal,
surfaces, corners and edges and
hard to reach areas.
Work with the complete surface of the
sanding pad, not only with the tip.
Corners may be finished using the tip or
edge of the selected accessory, which
should occasionally be rotated during use
to distribute the wear on the accessory and
backing pad surface.

Sand with a continuous motion and light
pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -
let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure
will result in poor handling, vibration, and
unwanted sanding marks and premature
wear on the sanding sheet.
Always be certain that smaller workpieces
are securely fastened to a bench or other
support. Larger panels may be held in place
by hand on a bench or sawhorses.
Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding sheets
are recommended for most wood or metal
sanding applications, as this synthetic
material cuts quickly and wears well.
Some applications, such as metal finishing
or cleaning, require special abrasive pads
which are available from your dealer. For
best results, use Bosch sanding accessories
which are of superior quality and are
carefully selected to produce professional
quality results with your oscillating tool.
The following suggestions may be used as a
general guide for abrasive selection, but the
best results will be obtained by sanding a
test sample of the workpiece first.
Grit
Coarse
For rough wood or metal
sanding, and rust or old
finish removal.
Medium
For general wood or metal
sanding
Fine
For final finishing of wood,
metal, plaster and other
surfaces.
With the workpiece firmly secured, turn tool
on as described above. Contact the work
with the tool after the tool has reached its
full speed, and remove it from the work
before switching the tool off. Operating your
oscillating tool in this manner will prolong
switch and motor life, and greatly increase
the quality of your work.
Move the oscillating tool in long steady
strokes parallel to the grain using some
lateral motion to overlap the strokes by as
much as 75%.
DO NOT apply excessive
pressure - let the tool do the work. Excessive
pressure will result in poor handling,
vibration, and unwanted sanding marks.
