Changing the Sanding Sheet
To remove the sanding sheet (8), lift it from the side and pull
it from the sanding pad (5).
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding pad (5), e.g. with a
paintbrush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
The surface of the sanding pad (5) is fitted with a hook-and-
loop fastening, allowing sanding sheets with a hook-and-loop
backing to be secured quickly and easily.
Press the sanding sheet (8) firmly onto the underside of the
sanding pad (5).
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet (8) are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding pad (5).
Selection of the Sanding Plate
The power tool can be fitted with sanding pads of various
hardnesses, depending on the application:
– Extra soft sanding pad: Suitable for polishing and sensit-
ive sanding even on curved surfaces
– Soft sanding pad: Suitable for all sanding work, universal
application
– Hard sanding pad: Suitable for heavy sanding on flat sur-
faces
Changing the Sanding Pad
Note: Replace damaged sanding pads (5) immediately.
Remove the sanding sheet or polishing tool. Unscrew the
screw (6) completely and remove the sanding pad (5). At-
tach the new sanding pad (5) and retighten the screw (6).
Note: When attaching the sanding pad, make sure that the
teeth of the catch mate with the recesses in the sanding pad.

Dust/chip extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
Bosch Power Tools
Application
For pre-sanding
For shaping and edge chamfering
For fine sanding during shaping
Buffing and edge rounding
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
External Dust Extraction
Connect the extraction hose (accessory) directly to the ex-
traction pipe (12).
Note: The extraction pipe (12) consists of antistatic mater-
ial. If an antistatic extraction hose (accessory) is used in ad-
dition, this will prevent an electrostatic charge from building
on the tool, which can happen on occasion when sanding.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
When working without dust extraction (e.g. polishing), you
can remove the extraction pipe (12). To do this, fully un-
screw the screw (13) using the hex key (7) (accessory) and
remove the extraction pipe (12) from the housing.

Auxiliary Handle

The auxiliary handle (10) enables comfortable handling and
optimum power distribution, with a high sanding removal
rate in particular.
Screw the auxiliary handle (10) into the housing.
