LED Capacity
Red continuous light <30 %
During operation with an increased load, the battery charge
indicator/overload indicator (1) flashes green. This indic-
ates that the power tool is working with a higher orbital
stroke rate and is achieving a higher material removal rate.
In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be over-
loaded. If the load is too high, the battery charge indicator/
overload indicator (1) flashes red for up to approx.
two seconds. For longer overloads, the motor begins to stop
within one second and the battery charge indicator/overload
indicator (1) flashes red for approx. five seconds.
If the permitted battery temperature of 70 °C is exceeded,
the electronics of the power tool will switch off immediately
until the temperature returns to the optimum operating tem-
perature range. The battery charge indicator/overload indic-
ator (1) flashes red for approx. 5 seconds.
Note: If the power tool shuts down automatically because
the battery is flat or overheated, switch the power tool off
using the on/off switch (2).
Charge the battery or let it cool down before switching the
power tool on again. Failure to do so can damage the bat-
tery.
Protection against deep discharge
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery
is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: The application tool no longer rotates and
the battery charge indicator/overload indicator (1) flashes
red for approx. five seconds.

Practical advice

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
The material removal rate and sanding result 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.
To sand corners, edges and hard-to-reach areas accurately,
you can also work with the tips alone or with an edge of the
sanding plate.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to
increased sanding performance, rather it will cause more
severe wear of the power tool and of the sanding sheet.
Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has
been used to work on metal.
Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
Occasionally clean the ventilation slots on the battery using a
soft brush that is clean and dry.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
