Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
(PSS 250 AE)
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the or-
bital stroke rate
1
, you can preselect the required
orbital stroke rate, even during operation.
The required stroke rate depends on the material
and the working conditions and can be deter-
mined through practical testing.
Working Advice
f
Wait until the machine has come to a stand-
still before placing it down.
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly de-
termined by the selection of the sanding sheet as
well as the preselected orbital stroke rate
(PSS 250 AE).
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sand-
ing capacity and extend the service life of the ma-
chine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure;
this increases the working life of the sanding
sheets.
Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-
creased wear of the machine and the sanding
sheet.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
