plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.

Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.

To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet

into place.

Selecting a Sanding Pad

The power tool can be fitted with sanding pads of various
hardnesses, depending on the application:
– Medium sanding pad (black): Suitable for all sanding

work, universal application.

– Soft sanding pad (grey, accessory): Suitable for interme-

diate and fine sanding even on curved surfaces.

Changing the Sanding Pad (see figures C–D)

Note: 

Replace damaged sanding pads

 Damaged sanding pads must only be replaced by an

after-sales service centre authorised to work with Bosch
power tools.

Dust/chip extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity. 
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
