The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch
located on the topside of the motor housing.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch
button forward.
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF" slide the switch
button backward.
Hold the tool with both
hands while starting the
tool, since torque from the motor can cause
the tool to twist.
This tool is equipped with a variable speed
dial. The speed may be controlled during
operation by presetting the dial in any one of
six positions.

Your BOSCH corner/detail sander is
equipped with a hook-and-loop rubber
backing pad which may be removed and
attached without the need of additional tools.
To remove, push the pad lock button to the
right as far as possible and pull the backing
pad free of the sander. (For maximum use of
abrasive, rotate pad 120 degrees when tip of
abrasive becomes worn.) To replace, push
backing pad back into place, and secure with
the pad lock button.
When sanding in extremely tight areas, such
as louvered panels, optional extension plates
are available.
Your Bosch sander uses hook-and-loop
backed accessories, which firmly grip the
backing pad when applied with moderate
pressure. To change, merely peel off the old
accessory, remove dust from the backing
pad if necessary, and press the new
accessory in place. Be sure to align the
sanding sheet holes with the holes in the
backing pad to allow the dust extraction
system to function.
After considerable service the backing pad
surface will become worn, and the backing
pad must be replaced when it no longer
offers a firm grip. If you are experiencing
premature wearout of the backing pad facing,
decrease the amount of pressure you are
applying during operation of the tool.
!
The integral dust port collects sanding dust in
a shop vacuum when fitted with the optional
Bosch Airsweep hose. However, the sander
may be operated without the dust collection
system if desired, as it will not harm the tool.
See your Bosch dealer for optional Bosch
Airsweep accessories.

This machine is particularly suitable for one
handed operation, and access to corners and
edges that are otherwise difficult to reach
and require hand sanding. Depending on the
task, you may grip the rear handle alone, or
the rear handle and the top of the
ergonomically contoured soft grip motor
housing, which is designed for this purpose.
Profiles and grooves may be finished using
the tip or edge of the selected accessory,
which should occasionally be rotated during
use to distribute the wear on the accessory
and backing pad surface.
Always be certain that smaller workpieces
are securely fastened to a bench or other
support. Larger panels may be held in place
by hand on a bench or sawhorses.
: Open-coat aluminum oxide
sanding sheets are recommended for most
wood or metal sanding applications, as this
synthetic material cuts quickly and wears
well. Some applications, such as metal
finishing or cleaning, require special abrasive
pads which are available from your dealer.
For best results, use Bosch sanding and
polishing accessories which are of superior
quality and are carefully selected to produce
professional quality results with your sander.
The following suggestions may be used as a
general guide for abrasive selection, but the
best results will be obtained by sanding a
test sample of the workpiece first.
