Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
External dust extraction (see figures B – C)
When working without dust extraction, close the extraction
outlet (8) with the dust protection cover (9).
To work with dust extraction, remove the dust protection
cover (9).
Attach the dust extraction adapter (10) to the extraction
outlet (8). Connect a dust extraction hose (12) to the dust
extraction adapter (10) using the universal adapter (11).
You will find an overview of how to connect to various dust
extractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.

Changing the sanding sheet (see figure D)

Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate (6), e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate (6) is fitted with a hook-and-loop fasten-
ing, allowing sanding sheets with a hook-and-loop backing to
be secured quickly and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate (6) be-
fore fitting the sanding sheet (5) to facilitate maximum adhe-
sion.
The power tool is equipped with two sanding sheets. De-
pending on their state of wear, these can also be changed in-
dividually.
Only use the power tool when both sanding sheets are
u
fitted.
Only use sanding sheets with the same grit.
u
Position the sanding sheet (5) so that it is flush with one a
side of the sanding plate (6), then place the sanding sheet
on the sanding plate and press it on firmly.
To remove the sanding sheet (5), take hold of it by an edge
and pull it away from the sanding plate (6).
You can use the Bosch delta sander sanding sheets.
Sanding accessories such as fleece/polishing felt are at-
tached to the sanding plate in the same way.

Choosing the sanding sheet
Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the ma-
terial you are working with and the required surface removal
rate:
Task
Can be used to work on all materials including
wood, paint, filler, varnish, hard and softwood
as well as chipboard and metal.
For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and un-
even beams and boards
For surface sanding and levelling of
slight irregularities
For finishing and fine sanding of hard
woods
For any finishing work, such as polishing (metal and stone in
particular), use fleece/polishing felt.
Different types of fleece and polishing felts should be used
depending on the surface finish required on the workpiece.

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.
