Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 2
towards the front to "I".
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off
switch 2 towards the rear to "0".
Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
(PSS 250 AE)
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the or-
bital stroke rate 1, you can preselect the required
orbital stroke rate, even during operation.
The required stroke rate depends on the material
and the working conditions and can be deter-
mined through practical testing.
Working Advice
Wait until the machine has come to a stand-
still before placing it down.
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly de-
termined by the selection of the sanding sheet as
well as the preselected orbital stroke rate
(PSS 250 AE).
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sand-
ing capacity and extend the service life of the ma-
chine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure;
this increases the working life of the sanding
sheets.
Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-
creased wear of the machine and the sanding
sheet.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
