CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE
DUST CANISTER
The dust canister is transparent which will
allow you to easily see when empting and
cleaning is requires.
To empty dust the canister: screw off and
remove microfilter from the dust canister.
Empty dust canister (Fig. 7).
It is recommended to loosen dust from the
microfilter by gently striking it against a solid
surface (Fig. 8).

ATTACHING A VACUUM CLEANER
Dust collection can also be achieved by
attaching the tool to a vacuum cleaner / dust
extractor, hose and adapter, if necessary (all
sold separately).
1. Attach the hose to the vacuum cleaner /
dust extractor.
2. Attach the hose to the tool's dust port in one
of the following ways (Fig. 9):
- Bosch VH-series hoses - The VX120 hose
adapter is required (included with VH-series
hoses).
- Other 35mm and 22mm hoses, such as the
Bosch VAC-series hoses - Connect hose
directly to the tool.
- Common 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" hoses - The
Bosch VAC024 adapter is required.

Knock excess dust out of the microfilter, or
remove dust with your fingers or a soft brush.
You may notice that all the dust may not come
out of the canister. This will not affect sanding
performance but will reduce dust collection
efficiency.
NOTE: Do not wash the microfilter with soap
and water. Dust may become more firmly
lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust
collection, and damage the micro filter.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, empty and
clean the canister and microfilter frequently.

SUCTION CONTROL
When using a vacuum hose with this sander
the amount of suction can be adjusted by
sliding the hose over or off the open slot in the
hose port area on the sander.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the
material being sanded.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially
detrimental to health or may be carcinogenic,
use a special vacuum cleaner.
When sanding on vertical surfaces, hold the
power tool in such a manner that the vacuum
hose faces downward.
