Changing the sanding plate
The supplied sanding plate (6) comprises two parts: The
base plate and the replaceable front plate. The front plate is
fitted with a hook-and-loop fastening and can be replaced.
To remove the front plate, take hold of it by a corner and pull
it away.
Operation
Starting Operation
Inserting the Battery
Do not use force to insert the battery. The battery is de-
u
signed in such a way that it can only be inserted into the
power tool when it is in the right position.
Push the charged battery into the battery holder until it
clicks audibly into place.
Switching On and Off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (2) forwards
and into the "I" position.
To turn off the power tool, push the on/off switch (2) for-
wards and into the "0" position.
Note: If the power tool shuts down automatically because
the battery is flat or overheated, switch the power tool off
using the on/off switch (2).
Charge the battery or let it cool down before switching the
power tool on again. Failure to do so can damage the bat-
tery.
Battery charge indicator/overload indicator
The battery charge indicator/overload indicator (1) shows
the state of charge of the battery or indicates overload states
when the power tool is switched on.
LED Capacity
Green continuous light ≥30 %
Red continuous light <30 %
During operation with an increased load, the battery charge
indicator/overload indicator (1) flashes green. This indic-
ates that the power tool is working with a higher orbital
stroke rate and is achieving a higher material removal rate.
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the load is too high, the battery charge indicator/
overload indicator (1) flashes red for up to approx.
two seconds. For longer overloads, the motor begins to stop
within one second and the battery charge indicator/overload
indicator (1) flashes red for approx. five seconds.
If the permitted battery temperature of 70 °C is exceeded,
the electronics of the power tool will switch off immediately
until the temperature returns to the optimum operating tem-
perature range. The battery charge indicator/overload
indicator (1) flashes red for approx. 5 seconds.
Note: If the power tool shuts down automatically because
the battery is flat or overheated, switch the power tool off
using the on/off switch (2).
Bosch Power Tools
Charge the battery or let it cool down before switching the
power tool on again. Failure to do so can damage the bat-
tery.
Protection against deep discharge
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates and
the battery charge indicator/overload indicator (1) flashes
red for approx. five seconds.
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 result 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.
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.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
