Dust/Chip Extraction

Dust 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 dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– 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 ma-
terials to be worked.
Bosch Power Tools
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Operation
Start-Up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
When operating the power tool using a mobile generator that
does not have sufficient reserve capacity or an adequate
voltage control system with inrush current boost converter,
loss of performance or atypical behaviour may occur upon
switch-on.
Please check the suitability of the power generator you are
using, particularly with regard to the mains voltage and fre-
quency.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, press the on/off switch (3).
Press the locking mechanism (2) to lock the on/off
switch (3) in this position.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (3);
or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/off switch (3)
and then release it.
Always check polishing tools before using them. The
u
polishing tools must be fitted properly and be able to
move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one
minute with no load. Do not use polishing tools that
are damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Dam-
aged polishing tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Speed preselection
You can preselect the required speed using the thumbwheel
for speed preselection (1), even during operation. The re-
quired speed depends on the material and the working con-
ditions; it can be ascertained through practical tests.
Thumbwheel position No-load speed (min-1)
1 600
2 800
3 1100
4 1400
5 1700
6 2100
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
u
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
