carried out. This reduces the development of dust, vibra-
tions and noise to the greatest extent.
 The pneumatic tool should be set up, adjusted or used
exclusively by qualified and trained operators.
 The pneumatic tool may not be modified in any way.
Modifications can reduce the effectivity of the safety
measures and increase the risks for the operator.
Service
 Have your pneumatic tool repaired only through a qual-
ified repair person and only using original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pneumatic tool
is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Pneumatic Random Orbit
Sanders
 In case of breakage of the workpiece or an accessory,
or even of the pneumatic tool itself, parts can be
thrown about at high speed.
 During operation, repairs or maintenance, and when
replacing accessories on the pneumatic tool, always
wear shock-resistant eye protection. The degree of the
required protection should be separately evaluated for
each individual application.
 Wear a hard hat when carrying out work overhead. This
prevents injuries.
 Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear per-
sonal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece
or of broken cutting discs may fly away and cause injury be-
yond the immediate area of operation.
 Caution! Application tools can become hot during pro-
longed operation of the pneumatic tool. Wear protective
gloves.
 The operators and the maintenance personnel must be
physically capable to handle the size, weight and pow-
er of the pneumatic tool.
 Be prepared for unexpected movements of the pneu-
matic tool that can develop owing to reaction forces or
breakage of the application tool. Maintain a firm grip
on the pneumatic tool and position your body and arms
to allow you to resist such movements. These precau-
tions can prevent injuries.
 When working with this pneumatic tool, assume a com-
fortable stance, hold the tool securely and avoid unfa-
vourable positions or such positions, where it is diffi-
cult to keep your balance. For prolonged work, the
operator should change the stance or posture, which
can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
 In case of an interruption of the air supply or reduced
operating pressure, switch the pneumatic tool off.
Check the operating pressure and start again when the op-
erating pressure is optimal.
 Use only the lubricants recommended by Bosch.
 Do not use any damaged application tools. Before eve-
ry use, check application tools for chips and cracks,
abrasion or excessive wear. If the pneumatic tool or the
Bosch Power Tools
application tool falls, check whether it is damaged or
use an undamaged application tool. When you have
checked and inserted the application tool, keep your-
self and bystanders away from the vicinity of the spin-
ning application tool and leave the power tool to run for
a minute at maximum speed. Damaged accessories usu-
ally break during this test time.
 Never place your hand near rotating application tools.
You could injure yourself.
 Do not use the pneumatic tool without an abrasive. Oth-
erwise the sanding plate will wear down and abrasives will
no longer be able to be securely fastened.
 The pneumatic tool can electrostatically discharge if
you sand plastics or other non-conductive materials.
 When using the pneumatic tool for the performance of
work-related activities, the operator may experience
unpleasant sensations in the hands, arms, shoulders,
neck area or other body parts.
 Should the operator perceive symptoms such as persis-
tent nausea, discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, these warning signs
should not be ignored. The operator should notify his
employer about the symptoms and consult a qualified
physician.
 Do not use cutting discs.
 The permitted speed of the application tool must be at
least as high as the maximum speed specified on the
pneumatic tool. Accessories rotating faster than their
permitted speed can break and fly around.
 Make sure that self-adhesive sanding sheets are fitted
concentrically on the sanding plate.
The dust developing during sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling and similar
operations can act carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagen-
ic. Some of the substances contained in these dusts are:
– Lead in lead-based paints and varnishes;
– Crystalline silica in bricks, cement and other masonry
work;
– Arsenic and chromate in chemically treated wood.
The risk of disease depends on how often you are exposed to
these substances. To reduce the risk, you should work only in
well ventilated rooms with appropriate protective equipment
(e. g. with specially designed respirators that filter out even
the smallest dust particles).
 By working with certain materials, dusts and vapours
can form, which can create an explosive atmosphere.
By working with pneumatic tools, sparks can be produced,
which can ignite the dust or the vapours.
 When working on the workpiece, additional noise can
develop, which can be avoided through appropriate
measures (e. g. by using damping materials on occur-
rence of ringing noise from the workpiece).
 When the pneumatic tool is equipped with a silencer,
always ensure that it is available and in proper working
condition when operating the pneumatic tool.
 Vibration effects may cause damage to the nerves and
blood circulation disorders in the hands and arms.
