The required speed depends on the material and the working conditions; it can be ascertained through practical tests.
The figures in the table below are recommended values.
After working at a low speed for an extended period, you should operate the power tool at the maximum speed
without load for approx. three minutes to cool it down.
Sanding
Switch the power tool on, place the entire sanding surface against the surface of the workpiece and apply
moderate pressure as you move the sander over the workpiece.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure, in order to increase the service life of the abrasive tools. An
excessive increase of the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to
increased wear of the power tool and the abrasive tool.
Do not use an abrasive tool for other materials after it has been used to work on metal.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch power tools.
