Working Advice
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
u
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
For fatigue-free work, you can hold the power tool from
above, from the side or from the front, depending on the ap-
plication (see figure H).
Sanding Surfaces
Switch the power tool on, place the entire sanding surface
against the surface of the workpiece and apply moderate
pressure as you move the sander over the workpiece.
The material removal rate and sanding finish are primarily
determined by the choice of sanding sheet, the preselected
orbital stroke rate level and the contact 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.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to
increased sanding performance; rather, it will cause more
severe wear of the power tool and premature failure of the
sanding plate.
Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.
Rough Sanding
Attach a coarse grit sanding sheet.
Apply only light pressure to the power tool so that it runs at a
higher orbital stroke rate and a higher material removal rate
is achieved.
Fine Sanding
Attach a fine grit sanding sheet.
You can reduce the sanding plate orbital stroke rate by
lightly varying the contact pressure or changing the orbital
stroke rate level; the random orbit motion will be retained.
Move the power tool with moderate pressure flat on the
workpiece in a circular motion or alternately along and
across it. Do not tilt the power tool in order to avoid sanding
through the workpiece, e.g. veneers.
Switch the power tool off after completing operation.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
Deteriorating braking effect (see figure C)
If the braking effect is deteriorating, first check the sanding
pad for wear and replace it if required or replace any dam-
aged pad brake/rubber sleeve (16).
