Do not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating sand-
ing tools. Damaged sanding tools can burst and cause in-
juries.

Working Advice

The material removal rate and surface quality are primarily de-
termined by the choice of sanding tool, the pre-selected
speed setting and the contact pressure.
Only immaculate sanding tools will deliver good sanding per-
formance and protect the power tool.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
Preselecting the Speed
The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel
7 (also while running).
1 –2 low speed
3 –4 medium speed
5 –6 high speed
The required speed depends on the material and the working
conditions and can be determined through practical testing.
The data in the following table are recommended values.

After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the ma-
chine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at max-
imum speed with no load.
Sanding
– Switch the machine on, place it with the complete sanding
surface on the surface to be worked and move the machine
with moderate pressure over the workpiece.
– Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure, in order to in-
crease the lifetime of the sanding tools.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to
increased sanding performance, rather it will cause more
severe wear of the power tool and of the sanding tool.
– Do not use a sanding tool for other materials after it has
been used to work on metal.
