Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box
(see figures C1 –C4)
Attach the dust box 3 onto the extraction outlet 8 until it
latches.
To empty the dust box 3, pull off the dust box downward.
Before opening the dust box 3, it is recommended to loosen
the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a
firm support (as shown in the figure).
Grasp the dust box 3 by the recessed grip, fold the filter ele-
ment 9 upward and empty the dust box. Clean the thin plates
of the filter element 9 with a soft brush.
External Dust Extraction (see figure D)
Mount a vacuum hose 10 onto the extraction outlet 8. Con-
nect the vacuum hose 10 with a vacuum cleaner. An overview
for the connection of various vacuum cleaners can be found at
the end of these instructions.
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.
Operation
Starting Operation
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when us-
ing it.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 2 towards the
front to "I".
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 2 towards
the rear to "0".
Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate (PSS 250 AE)
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke
rate 1, you can preselect the required orbital stroke rate, even
during operation.
The required stroke rate depends on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined through practical
testing.
Working Advice
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
 Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before
placing it down.
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug from the socket outlet
Bosch Power Tools
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly determined by
the selection of the sanding sheet as well as the preselected
orbital stroke rate (PSS 250 AE).
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.
