Replacing the Sanding Plate (see figure B)
Slide the SDS button for release of the sanding plate 4 all
the way to the right.
Remove the sanding plate 6.
Guide the sanding plate 6 from below against the sand-
ing plate holder and firmly press them together.
Slide the SDS button for release of the sanding plate 4 all
the way to the left.
If, e. g., the front tip of the sanding sheet is worn, you can also
remove the complete sanding plate and reattach it turned by
120°.
Specialty Sanding Plates
You can replace the supplied sanding plate 6 with a specialty
sanding plate, which is available as an accessory.
The specialty sanding plate is attached in the same manner as
the one supplied.
Attach and remove the respective sanding sheets in the same
manner as when changing original sanding sheets.
Pad Extender (see figure C)
With the pad extender 7 you can sand surfaces that are diffi-
cult to access, such as sills on windows, cabinets or doors.
Pad Extender, Narrow (see figure D)
With the narrow pad extender 10 you can sand narrow open-
ings, slots and passages.
On the top side, a velcro backing 9 can additionally be at-
tached for fastening sanding sheets.
Pad Extender, Narrow Rounded (see figure E)
The narrow rounded pad extender 11 allows you to sand
curved and hollow areas or surfaces that are curved inward,
such as on furniture, rails or heating radiators.
It is fitted with velcro backing on each side, which allows for
sanding sheets to be fitted on both sides.
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.
Switching On and Off
– To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 3 towards
the front to "I".
– To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 3 to-
wards the rear to "0".
– When not using the power tool, switch it off in order to save
energy.
Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
The required stroke rate depends on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined through practical
testing.
2 609 932 847 | (19.6.12)
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke
rate 2, you can preselect the required orbital stroke rate, even
during operation.

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 as well as the preselected
orbital stroke rate.
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.
Application examples, see figures F–L.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.

clude the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the machine.
