 Check the tight seating of the application tool/acces-
sory. Incorrect or not securely fastened application tools/
accessories can come loose during operation and pose a
hazard.
Mounting/Replacing a Sanding Sheet on the Sanding
Plate
The sanding plate 12 is fitted with Velcro backing for quick
and easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro adhesion.
Before attaching the sanding sheet 13, free the Velcro back-
ing of the sanding plate 12 from any debris by tapping against
it in order to enable optimum adhesion.
Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
Sanding disc Material
– All wooden materials
(e. g., hardwood, soft-
wood, chipboard, build-
ing board)
– Metal materials
Red quality
– Paint
– Varnish
– Filling compound
– Filler
White quality
Dust/Chip Extraction
 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Connecting the Dust Extraction (see figure A)
Remove the application tool/accessory when mounting the
dust extraction 18 (accessory).
Bosch Power Tools
Position the sanding sheet 13 flush alongside one edge of the
sanding plate 12, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding
plate and press firmly.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in
the sanding plate.
To remove the sanding sheet 13, grasp it at one of the tips and
pull it off from the sanding plate 12.
You can use all sanding sheets, fleece pads/polishing cloth
pads of the Delta 93 mm series of Bosch accessory program.
Sanding accessories, such as fleece pads/polishing cloth
pads, are attached to the sanding plate in the same manner.
Application
For coarse-sanding, e. g. of rough, unplaned beams
and boards
For face sanding and planing small irregularities
For finish and fine sanding of wood
For sanding off paint
For sanding primer (e. g., for removing brush dash-
es, drops of paint and paint run)
For final sanding of primers before coating
If required, assemble the parts of the dust extraction 18 as
shown in the figure. Position the assembled dust extraction
onto the machine via the tool holder 7. Turn the dust extrac-
tion in such a manner that the cams of the dust extraction en-
gage into the corresponding recesses on the housing. Fasten
the dust extraction to the machine with the retaining clip 16
as shown in the figure.
Pay attention that the felt ring 15 is undamaged and faces
tightly against the sanding plate 12. Replace a damage felt
ring immediately.
Place a vacuum hose 19 (accessory) onto the vacuum con-
nection 17. Connect the vacuum hose 19 with a vacuum
cleaner (accessory). An overview for the connection of vari-
ous vacuum cleaners can be found at the end of these instruc-
tions.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
