For Your Safety

Read all instructions. Failure to fol-
low all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Additionally, the general safety instructions either
in the enclosed booklet or those added in the
centre of these operating instructions must be ob-
served.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
securely than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive. Ex-
ample: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust /
chip extraction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Material mix-
tures are particularly dangerous. Dust of light
metal can be inflammable or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Do not use a machine with a damaged
mains cable. Do not touch the damaged ca-
ble and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Connect machines that are used in the
open via a residual current device (RCD).
Use the machine only for dry sanding. Wa-
ter penetrating the power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on. Switch the machine off
only after it has been lifted away from the
workpiece. The power tool can move sud-
denly.
Never touch the running sanding belt. Dan-
ger of injury.

Pay attention that no persons are put at
risk through sparking. Remove any com-
bustible materials in the vicinity. Sparking
occurs when sanding metal materials.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged
sanding belts. Damaged sanding belts can
tear apart and be thrown from the machine re-
sulting in possible personal injury.
Warning. Fire hazard! Avoid overheating of
the material being sanded and of the power
tool, and always empty the dust collector
before taking breaks. Sanding dust in the
dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter
bag or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can self-ig-
nite under unfavourable conditions such as
from sparking while sanding metals. Especially
when it is mixed with particles of varnish or
polyurethane or other chemical materials, and
when the material being sanded is hot after
prolonged operation.

Auxiliary Handle

The auxiliary handle 6 can be adjusted to suit the
working position. For this, loosen the wing screw,
swivel the auxiliary handle 6 to the required posi-
tion and tighten the wing screw again.
Dust Extraction
External Dust Extraction (Accessory)
The machine can be plugged directly into the re-
ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner
with remote starting control. The vacuum cleaner
starts automatically when the machine is
switched on.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial to be worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
For external dust extraction with a vacuum
cleaner, an extraction adapter must be used as
required (see accessories). Insert extraction
adapter and vacuum connection firmly.
Dust Extraction with an
Attached Dust Bag
For small sanding jobs, a dust bag 1 can be used.
If your tool is equipped with a dust bag, empty it
frequently and after completion of sanding.
Be particularly careful when disposing of dust, as
materials in fine particle form may be explosive.
Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spon-
taneous combustion may in time, result from mix-
ture of oil or water with dust particles.
