The machine is fitted with 2 sanding sheets that can be
changed individually, depending on the degree of wear.
Only use the machine when both sanding sheets are
mounted.
Only use sanding sheets with the same grain size.
Position the sanding sheet 4 flush alongside one edge of the
sanding plate 3, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding
plate and press firmly.
To remove the sanding sheet 4, grasp it at one of the tips and
pull it off from the sanding plate 3.
Sanding sheets of the Bosch Delta Sander can be used.
Sanding accessories, such as fleece pads/polishing cloth
pads, are attached to the sanding plate in the same manner.
Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate
of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
For the working of all wooden
materials
For coarse-sanding, e. g. of rough,
unplaned beams and boards
For face sanding and planing small
irregularities
For finish and fine sanding of hard
woods
For the working of paint/enamel
coats or primers and fillers
For sanding off paint
For sanding primer
For final sanding of primers before
coating
For reworking or polishing, especially of metal and stone, use
fleece/polishing cloth pad.
Depending on the desired surface quality of the workpiece,
different fleece types or polishing cloth pads are to be used.

Working Advice
Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before
placing it down.
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly determined by
the selection of the sanding sheet.
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.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard to
reach areas, it is also possible to work only with the tip or an
edge of the sanding plate.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be
used for other materials.
Grain size Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
