Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the sanding disk may contact its
own cord. Sanding disk contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your
hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur
if sander is plugged in while changing an
accessory.
If your tool is equipped with a dust bag,
empty it frequently and after completion
of sanding. Be extremely careful of dust
disposal, materials in fine particle form may
be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on
an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may,
in time, result from mixture of oil or water
with dust particles.
Always wear eye protection and a dust
mask for dusty applications and when
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.

sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be
absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily
and may cause health complications.
Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids
entering the motor housing is an electrical
shock hazard.
Do not use PSA pad on random orbit
sanders
whose
12,000/min. Exceeding the maximum
operating speed of pad may cause pad to
rupture or fly apart during use striking user or
bystanders.
Do not use sandpaper intended for larger
sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend
beyond the sanding pad causing snagging,
tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper
extending beyond the sanding pad can also
cause serious lacerations.
Clamp or secure workpiece when
sanding. Clamping the workpiece prevents
it from being ejected from under the sander
and leaves both hands to control the tool.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
