Specialty Sanding Plates

You can replace the supplied sanding plate 

9

 with a specialty 

sanding plate, which is available as an accessory.

The specialty sanding plate is attached in the same manner as 
the one supplied.

Attach and remove the respective sanding sheets in the same 
manner as when changing original sanding sheets.

Extended Sanding Plate, Rectangular, Thin 
(GSS 230 A / GSS 230 AE) (see figure G)

Use of the rectangular, thin, extended sanding plate 

22

 ena-

bles sanding at hard-to-reach locations and narrow interspac-
es, e. g. on window and door sills, grooves or behind radiators 
or water pipes.

To mount the rectangular, thin, extended sanding plate 

22

, 

use the corresponding screws 

24

.

Extended Sanding Plate, Triangular 
(GSS 230 A / GSS 230 AE) (see figure H)

Use of the extended triangular sanding plate 

26

 enables sand-

ing in edges and corners.

Finish-sanding Plate (without velcro backing) 
(GSS 230 AE / GSS 280 AE) (see figure D)

When operating mainly with standard sanding sheets without 
velcro backing, it is recommended to use the finish-sanding 
plate without velcro backing. Due to its plane sanding plate 
surface, optimum results are achieved, especially for finish 
sanding.

Auxiliary Handle

The auxiliary handle 

1

 enables convenient handling and opti-

mal distribution of power, especially at high removal rates.

Fasten the auxiliary handle 

1

 with screw 

2

 to the casing.

Operation

Starting Operation



Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the 
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To 

start

 the machine, press the On/Off switch 

4

 and keep it 

pressed.

To lock the 

pressed

 On/Off switch 

4

, press the lock-on button 

5

.

To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

4

 or 

when it is locked with the lock-on button 

5

, briefly press the 

On/Off switch 

4

 and then release it.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate 
(GSS 230 AE / GSS 280 AE)

With the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke 
rate 

3

, 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 determined through practical 
testing.

Working Advice



Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before 
placing it down. 



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug from the socket outlet

The removal capacity during sanding is mainly determined by 
the selection of the sanding sheet as well as the preselected 
orbital stroke rate (GSS 230 AE / GSS 280 AE).

Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity 
and extend the service life of the machine.

Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increas-
es the working life of the sanding sheets.

Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead to an in-
crease of the sanding capacity, but to increased 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.
