– High material removal rate, ideal for
hard plaster and removing old wall
paints
– For use on flat surfaces
– Optimal suction support makes work
easier when using a dust extractor.
A) Standard scope of delivery
Changing the Intermediate Pad (see figure A)
An intermediate pad
(15)
must always be used when work-
ing with the soft sanding pad (part of standard items in-
cluded).
To remove the intermediate pad
(15)
, lift it from the side
and pull it off the sanding pad
(17)
.
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding pad
(17)
, e.g. with a
paintbrush, before attaching a new intermediate pad.
The surface of the sanding pad
(17)
is fitted with a hook-
and-loop fastening, allowing intermediate pads to be se-
cured quickly and easily.
Press the intermediate pad
(15)
firmly against the underside
of the sanding pad
(17)
.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the intermediate pad
(15)
are aligned with
the drilled holes in the sanding pad
(17)
.
Changing the Sanding Pad (see figure B)
Note:
Replace damaged sanding pads
(17)
immediately.
Pull off the sanding sheet
(14)
and the intermediate
pad
(15)
. Unscrew the screw
(16)
completely and remove
the sanding pad
(17)
. Attach the new sanding pad
(17)
and
retighten the screw.
Note:
When attaching the sanding pad, make sure that the
teeth of the catch mate with the recesses in the sanding pad.
Note:
Damaged sanding pads must only be replaced by an
after-sales service centre authorised to work with Bosch
power tools.
Inserting/Removing the Extension Tube
(see figures C–D)
Only use the extension tubes
(10)
if necessary. The effort re-
quired for the sanding is significantly lower when working
without extension tubes.
Note:
A maximum of two extension tubes may be inserted.

Dust/chip extraction
Dust from materials can be harmful to health. Touching or
breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or
cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the
near vicinity.
Certain dusts are classified as carcinogenic.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– Always wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
External dust extraction
Attach the dust extraction hose
(5)
to the extraction
outlet
(6)
on the handle section
(7)
.
Connect the dust extraction hose
(5)
to an extractor (ac-
cessory).
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
For large surfaces, use the GAS 35 L/M AFC or GAS 55 L/
M AFC dust extractor since these models guarantee the con-
tinuous suction power required.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with
the dust extraction hose facing downwards.
Installing/Removing the Hose/Cable Clip (see figure E)
Place the hose/cable clip
(22)
over the extraction hose
(5)
.
Insert the power cable into the cable groove of the hose/
cable clip.
To remove the hose/cable clip
(22)
, pull it off the extraction
hose
(5)
and remove the power cable from the hose/cable
clip.
