Intended Use; Dust Extraction; Internal Vacuuming With Dust Box; External Dust Extraction (Accessory) - Bosch PBS 60 Operating Instructions Manual

When grinding metal, flying sparks are pro-
duced. Take care that no persons are endan-
gered. Due to danger of fire, no combustible
materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark flight zone).
Never allow children to use the machine.
Bosch is only able to ensure perfect operation
of the machine if the original accessories in-
tended for it are used.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood,
plastic, metal, filler and coated surfaces – at high
removal rates.

Dust Extraction

The dust that is produced while working can
be detrimental to health, inflammable or ex-
plosive. Suitable safety measures are re-
quired.
Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust /chip extraction
and wear a dust respirator.
Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Al-
ways keep the workplace clean, as blends of ma-
terials are particularly dangerous.
If your tool is equipped with a dust bag, empty it
frequently and after completion of sanding.
Be particularly careful when disposing of dust, as
materials in fine particle form may be explosive.
Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spon-
taneous combustion may in time, result from mix-
ture of oil or water with dust particles.

Internal Vacuuming with Dust Box

(see figure
A1-A4
Attaching the dust box:
Attach the extraction adapter 7 onto the outlet
piece 8 setzen. Attach the dust box 6 onto the ex-
traction adapter 7 and allow it to snap in.

)
Emptying the dust box:
Caution, fire hazard!
In unfavourable conditions, e. g. when
sparks emit from sanding metals, sand-
ing-debris in the dust bag, microfilter or
paper sack (or in the filter sack or filter
of the wet/dry vacuum cleaner) can self-
ignite. Particularly when mixed with re-
mainders of varnish, polyurethane or
other chemical materials and when the
sanding debris is hot after long periods
of working.
Avoid overheating the object being
sanded as well as the power tool, and al-
ways empty the dust collector before
breaks.
Press the latching lever 9 and pull the dust box off
to the back.
Before opening the dust box, it is recommended
to loosen the dust from the filter element by strik-
ing against a hard surface.
Grasp the dustbox by the recessed grip, fold the
filter element (micro filtersystem) 10 upwards and
empty the dust box 6. Clean the thin plates of the
filter system with a soft brush.
Note: To guarantee optimum dust extraction effi-
ciency, empty the dust container in good time and
regularly knock out the dust from the filter.

External Dust Extraction (Accessory)

The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote control starting. The vacuum cleaner
starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
For external dust extraction with a vacuum
cleaner, an extraction adapter must be used as
required (see accessories). Insert extraction
adapter and vacuum connection firmly.
