Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Dust/chip extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures
A1–A4)
Slide the dust box (7) onto the extraction outlet (14).
You can easily check the filling level of the dust box (7)
through the transparent container.
To empty the dust box (7), rotate slightly and pull it back.
Unscrew the filter element (6) from the dust box (7). Empty
the dust box.
Gently tap the filter element (6) against a solid surface to
loosen the dust. Use a soft brush to clean the flaps of the fil-
ter element (6).
Note: In order to ensure optimum dust extraction, empty the
dust box (7) in good time and clean the filter element (6)
regularly.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with
the dust box (7) facing downwards.
Bosch Power Tools
External dust extraction (see figure B)
Insert the dust extraction adapter (16) (accessory) into an
extraction hose (15) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (16) to the ex-
traction outlet (14) on the power tool and the extraction
hose (15) to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Changing the sanding sheet (see figure C)
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate , e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate is fitted with a hook-and-loop fastening, al-
lowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be secured
quickly and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate before
fitting the sanding sheet to facilitate maximum adhesion.
Position the sanding sheet (17) so that it is flush with one
side of the sanding plate, then place the sanding sheet on
the sanding plate and press it firmly down.
To remove the sanding sheet (17), take hold of it by an edge
and pull it away from the sanding plate .
Sanding accessories such as fleece/polishing felt are at-
tached to the sanding plate in the same way.
Two-piece sanding plate
The power tool is equipped with 2 sanding sheets. Depend-
ing on their state of wear, these can also be changed indi-
vidually.
Only use the power tool when both sanding sheets are
u
fitted.
Only use sanding sheets with the same grit.
u
Rectangular sanding plate
Only use the power tool when the sanding sheet is fit-
u
ted.
Choosing the sanding sheet
Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the ma-
terial you are working with and the required surface removal
rate:
Application
Can be used to work on all materials including
wood, paint, filler, varnish, hard and softwood
as well as chipboard and metal
For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and un-
even beams and boards
For surface sanding and levelling of
slight irregularities
