Bosch EasySander 18V-8 Notice Originale page 15

To remove the sanding sheet (8), take hold of it by an edge
and pull it away from the sanding plate (7).
Sanding accessories such as fleece/polishing felt are at-
tached to the sanding plate in the same way.
Choosing the sanding sheet
Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the ma-
terial you are working with and the required surface removal
rate:
Application
Can be used to work on all materials including
wood, paint, filler, varnish, hard and softwood
as well as chipboard and metal
For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and un-
even beams and boards
For surface sanding and levelling of
slight irregularities
For finishing and fine sanding of hard
woods
Operation
Starting Operation
Switching On/Off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, tilt the on/off switch (1) to-
ward the right to the "I" position.
To switch off the power tool, tilt the on/off switch (1) to-
ward the left to the "O" position.
Temperature-dependent overload protection
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted bat-
tery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power
tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the
optimum operating temperature range.
Practical advice
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
The material removal rate and the sanding finish are primar-
ily determined by the choice of sanding sheet and the con-
tact pressure.
Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding per-
formance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to in-
crease the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Bosch Power Tools
To sand corners, edges and hard-to-reach areas accurately,
you can also work with the tips alone or with an edge of the
sanding plate.
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 sheet.
Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has
been used to work on metal.
Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.
