Working safely with this machine is

and safety information are read
completely and the instructions
contained therein are strictly fol-
lowed.
In addition, the general safety
notes in the enclosed booklet must
be observed.
■ If the cable is damaged or cut through while work-
ing, do not touch the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable.
■ Connect machines that are used in the open via a
residual current device (RCD) with an actuating
current of 30 mA maximum. Do not operate the
machine in rain or moisture.
■ Wear safety glasses.
■ Safety gloves are recommended.
■ Always direct the cable to the rear away from the
machine.
■ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more se-
cure than by hand.
■ The machine can be used only for dry sanding.
■ Working with material containing asbestos is not
permitted.
■ Always hold the machine firmly when working and
provide for a secure stance.
■ When sanding metal, flying sparks are produced.
Take care that no persons are endangered. Be-
cause of the danger of fire, no combustible materi-
als should be located in the vicinity (spark flying
zone).
■ If your tool is equipped with a dust bag, empty it
frequently and after completion of sanding. Be
extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine
particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sand-
ing dust on an open fire. Spontaneous combustion
may in time, result from mixture of oil or water with
dust particles.
■ Always switch the machine off and wait until it has
come to a standstill before placing it down.
■ Never allow children to use the machine.
■ Bosch is able to ensure flawless functioning of the
machine only if the original accessories intended
for it are used.
