Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Operation

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power 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.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the power tool, push the On/Off
switch 4 to position "1", "2" or "3", depending
on the desired stroke rate.
To switch off the power tool, push the On/Off
switch 4 back to the "0" position.
Presetting the Stroke Rate
With the On/Off switch 4, you can preselect
three settings for the required stroke rate. Push
the On/Off switch to the desired position.
Setting 1 Low stroke rate: For detailed work
requiring precision
Setting 2 Medium stroke rate
Setting 3 High stroke rate: For high material
removal
Bosch Power Tools
The required stroke rate is dependent on the
material and the working conditions and can be
determined by a practical trial.
Always start with the lowest setting. When the
removal rate is too low, select the next higher
setting.

Working Advice

Never work towards your body. While work-
ing, ensure other persons are not in the
working range. Danger of injury from the
sharp-edged application tools.
Fig. B: Hold the machine with both hands as
shown in the figure, and do not position or place
the hands directly in front of the working area.
Guide the application tool to the location where
material is to be removed. Start at a flat angle
and with low application pressure. When the ap-
plication pressure is too high, the structural sur-
face (e.g., wood, plaster) can become damaged.
The stroke motion of the application tool is
actuated through the pressure applied on the
workpiece. This allows for exact positioning of
the application tool at the location where mate-
rial is to be removed.
Note: The machine and the application tools
heat up after prolonged use. Do not overload
the machine and allow it to cool down between
individual work steps.
Recommendations for Application Tools
The choice of the optimal application tool
(accessory) depends on the application area
and must be determined by trial on the respec-
tive workpiece.
Wide application tools are for large-scale revom-
al; narrow application tools are for spot-removal
(especially at hard to reach locations).
Carbide (TC) application tools provide longer
service life than steel application tools.
Cutter
Blades are mainly suitable for scraping applica-
tions on hard surfaces (e.g. concrete). Soft sur-
faces (e.g. wood) can easily be damaged when
working with extra-sharp blades.
