Safety Notes
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions.Failure tofollow thewarnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Work area safety
fKeepworkareaclean and welllit.Clutteredordark areas
invite accidents.
fDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
fKeep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
fPower tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
fAvoidbodycontact withearthedor groundedsurfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
fDo not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterenteringapower toolwillincreasetherisk of electric
shock.
fDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
fWhen operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
fIf operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
fStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
toolwhile you aretired orunder the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
f Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Bosch Power Tools 2 609 932 821 | (26.10.11)
fPrevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
fRemove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
fDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
fDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
fIf devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
fDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
fDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
fDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
fStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
fMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
fKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cuttingtools withsharpcutting edgesare less likelyto bind
and are easier to control.
fUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
fHaveyour power tool serviced bya qualifiedrepair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Sander
fUse the machine only for dry sanding. Penetrationofwa-
ter into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
fPay attention that no persons are put at risk through
sparking. Remove any combustible materials in the vi-
cinity. Sparking occurs when sanding metal materials.
fCaution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the object be-
ing sanded as well as the sander. Always empty the
dust collector before taking breaks. In unfavourable
conditions, e.g., when sparks emit from sanding metals,
sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack
(or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can
self-ignite.Particularly whenmixedwith remaindersof var-
nish, polyurethane or other chemical materials and when
the sanding debris is hot after long periods of working.
fWhen working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
fSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
fProducts sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or
less.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with
another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of expo-
sure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications,withdifferent accessories orpoorlymaintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly in-
crease the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working pe-
riod.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
fromtheeffects ofvibrationsuch as:maintain the toolandthe
accessories, keep hands warm, organise work patterns.

Replacing the Sanding Sheet (see figure A)
To remove the sanding sheet 10,lift itfrom theside andpull it
off of the sanding plate 8.
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-
bris from the sanding plate 8, e. g., with a brush.
Thesurface ofthesanding plate8is fittedwithVelcro backing
for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro ad-
hesion.
Press the sanding sheet 10 firmly against the bottom side of
the sanding plate 8.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in
the sanding plate.
Selection of the Sanding Plate
Depending on the application, the machine can be equipped
with sanding plates of different hardness:
– Sanding plate, extra soft: Suitable for polishing and sensi-
tive sanding, incl. on convex surfaces.
– Soft sanding plate: Suitable for all sanding applications
and general-purpose use.
– Hard sanding plate: Suitable for high sanding capacity on
flat surfaces.
Replacing the Sanding Plate (see figure B)
Note: Replace a damaged sanding plate 8immediately.
Pull off the sanding sheet or polishing tool. Completely un-
screw the screw 11 and take off the sanding plate 8. Attach
the new sanding plate 8and tighten the screw again.
Note: When attaching the sanding plate, pay attention that
the toothing of the drive element engage into the openings of
the sanding plate.
Note:A damagedsanding-plate basemay bechanged only by
anauthorised after-sales service agent for Bosch powertools.
Dust/Chip Extraction
fDusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extractionsystem suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
fPrevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box (see figures C–G)
Mount the dust box 7onto the extraction outlet 12. Turn the
dust box in such a manner that its recesses face against the
tips on the extraction outlet and the dust box can be felt to en-
gage.
The filling level of the dust box 7can easily be checked
through the transparent container.
Toemptythe dust box7,pull it offtowardtherear withaslight
twisting motion.
Screw the filter element 6on and pull it out of the dust box 7.
Empty the dust box.
To loosen the dust, gently strike or tap the filter element 6
against a firm surface. Clean the lamellas of the filter element
6with a soft brush.
Note:Toensure optimum dustextraction,empty thedustbox
7in good time and clean the filter element 6at regular inter-
vals.
When working vertical surfaces, hold the power tool in such a
manner that the dust box 7faces downward.
External Dust Extraction (see figure H)
Mounta vacuum hose13onto theextractionoutlet 12.Mount
the vacuum hose onto the extraction outlet (as shown in the
figure) in such a manner that the lateral openings on the ex-
traction outlet remain free. This prevents the power tool from
adhering to the workpiece during sanding and the surface
quality of the workpiece from being impaired.
Connect the vacuum hose 13 to a vacuum cleaner (accesso-
ry). An overview for connecting to various vacuum cleaners
can be found at the end of this manual.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
When working vertical surfaces, hold the power tool in such a
manner that the vacuum hose faces downward.
Auxiliary Handle
The auxiliary handle 1enables convenient handling and opti-
mal distribution of power, especially at high removal rates.
Fasten the auxiliary handle 1with screw 2to the casing.

Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke
rate3,youcanpreselect the requiredorbitalstrokerate,even
during operation.
The required stroke rate depends on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined through practical
testing.
After longer periods of working at low stroke rate, allow the
machine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at
maximum stroke rate with no load.
Sanding Plate Brake
An integrated sanding plate brake reduces the stroke rate
when running at no-load so that scoring is prevented when
placing the machine onto the workpiece.
If the no-load stroke rate continuously increases over the
course of time, then the sanding plate is damaged and must
be replaced or the sanding plate brake is worn. A worn sand-
ing plate brake must be replaced by an authorised after-sales
service agent for Bosch power tools.
Working Advice
fBefore any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
fWait until the machine has come to a standstill before
placing it down.
fThe power tool is not suitable for stationary operation.
Forexample, it maynot beclampedin aviceor fastenedon
a workbench.
Sanding Surfaces
Switch the machine on, place it with the complete sanding
surface on the surface to be worked and move the machine
with moderate pressure over the workpiece.
The removal capacity and the sanding pattern are mainly de-
termined by the selection of the sanding sheet, the preselect-
ed orbital stroke rate and the applied pressure.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity
and extend the service life of the machine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increas-
es the working life of the sanding sheets.
Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead to an in-
crease of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the
machine and the sanding sheet.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be
used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
Rough Sanding
Attach a sanding sheet with coarse grain.
Apply only light pressure to the machine so that it runs at a
higher stroke rate and high material removal is achieved.
Fine Sanding
Attach a sanding sheet with fine grain.
By lightly varying the application pressure or changing the or-
bitalstroke rate, thesanding plate stroke rate can be reduced
whereby the orbital action is maintained.
With moderate pressure, move the machine in a circular pat-
tern or alternately in lengthwise and crosswise directions
over the workpiece. Do not tilt the machine to avoid sanding
through the workpiece (e. g. when sanding veneer).
After finishing the working procedure, switch the power tool
off.
Polishing
For the polishing of weathered paint or buffing out scratches
(e.g.,acrylic glass),the machinecanbe equippedwith appro-
priate polishing accessories such as lamb’s wool bonnet, pol-
ishing felt or sponge (accessories).
Select a low stroke rate (setting 1–2)for polishingin orderto
avoid excessive heating of the surface.
Apply the polish onto a somewhat smaller surface than you in-
tend to polish. Work the polishing agent in with a suitable pol-
ishing tool applying it crosswise or with circular motion and
moderate pressure.
Do not allow the polishing agent to dry out on the surface, oth-
erwise the surface can become damaged. Do not subject the
surface to be polished to direct sunlight.
Clean the polishing accessories regularly to ensure good pol-
ishing results. Wash out polishing accessories with a mild de-
tergent and warm water; do not use paint thinner.
Application Table
The data in the following table are recommended values.
The most favourable combination for working is best deter-
mined by practical testing.
