Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of
the power source must agree with the voltage
specified on the nameplate of the machine.
Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-
nected to 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 2
and keep it depressed.
Lock the pushed On/Off switch 2 by pressing the
lock-on button 3.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 2 or push and release it then.
■
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly
determined by the selection of the sanding sheet.
Excessive sanding pressure does not lead to in-
creased sanding capacity, but to increased wear
of the machine and the sanding sheet.
Do not sand wood and metal with the same sand-
ing sheet.
Use only original Bosch sanding sheets and ac-
cessories.
■
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
■
For safe and proper working, always keep the
machine and the ventilation slots clean.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders,
please always include the 10-digit order number
given on the nameplate of the machine.

necting a new 3-pin plug to the 2-wire cable.
