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
materials are particularly dangerous.
Internal Vacuuming with Dust Box
(see figures
D1-D4
Attaching the dust box:
Attach the dust box 1 against the outlet piece 6
and engage it.
Emptying the dust box:
Actuate the latching lever 9 and pull off the dust
box 1 toward the bottom.
Before opening the dust box 1, it is recom-
mended to loosen the dust from the filter element
by gently striking it against a firm support.
Fold the filter element (micro filtersystem) 10
away to the top and empty the dust box. Clean
the thin plates of the filter system with a soft
brush.
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.
External Dust Extraction
(see figure )
C
Slide the extraction adapter 7 onto the outlet
piece 6 and make sure that the latches engage.
To remove, press the latches together at the rear
and pull off the extraction adapter.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial to be worked.

Operating Instructions
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly
determined by the selection of the sanding sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of corners,
edges and hard to reach areas, working is possi-
ble only with the tip or an edge of the sanding
plate.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sand-
ing capacity and make the machine last longer.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure;
this increases the working life of the sanding
sheets.
Intensifying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-
creased wear of the machine and the sanding
tools.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding sheets, polish-
ing tools and accessories.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and the ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit order number
given on the nameplate of the machine.
WARNING! Important instructions for con-
necting a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
The wires in the cable are coloured according to
the following code:
strain relief
live = brown
neutral = blue
Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the
earth terminal of the plug.
Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is
removed from the cable of this machine, it must
be disposed of safely.
