Noise/Vibration Information

Noise emission values determined ac- cording to EN 62841-2-4.

Typically, the A-weighted noise level

of the power tool is:

| | |
---|---|---|---
Sound pressure level| dB(A)| 83| 86
Sound power level| dB(A)| 94| 97
Uncertainty K| dB| 3
Wear hearing protection!| | |
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined

according to EN 62841-2-4 :

| | |
ah| m/s2| 6.0| 7.0
K| m/s2| 1.5

The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardized measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value represent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application 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 operator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,and organizing workflows correctly.

Assembly

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.

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 reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or 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 containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.

Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible.
Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.

Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures A1–A4)
Place the dust box (4) onto the extraction outlet (11) until it clicks into place.
To empty the dust box (4), pull the dust box downwards.
Before opening the dust box (4), knock the dust box against a firm surface as shown in the figure to loosen the dust from the filter element.
Take hold of the dust box (4) by the recessed grip, fold the filter element (3) upwards out of the way and empty the dust box. Use a soft brush to clean the flaps of the filter element(3).

External dust extraction (see figure B)
Insert the dust extraction adapter (13) (accessory) into an extraction hose (12) (accessory) until you hear it click into place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (13) to the extraction outlet (11) on the power tool and the extraction hose (12) to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
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.

Changing the sanding sheet (see figure C)

Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate (7), e.g. with a brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the drilled holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate (7) is fitted with a hook-and-loop fastening, allowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be secured quickly and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate (7) before fitting the sanding sheet (14) to facilitate maximum adhesion.
The power tool is equipped with two sanding sheets. Depending on their state of wear, these can also be changed individually.

Only use the power tool when both sanding sheets are fitted.
Only use sanding sheets with the same grit.

Position the sanding sheet (14) so that it is flush with one a side of the sanding plate (7), then place the sanding sheet on the sanding plate and press it on firmly.
To remove the sanding sheet (14), take hold of it by an edge and pull it away from the sanding plate (7).
You can use the Bosch delta sander sanding sheets.
Sanding accessories such as fleece/polishing felt are attached to the sanding plate in the same way.

Choosing the sanding sheet
Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the material you are working with and the required surface removal rate:

Application| Grit|
---|---|---
Can be used to work on all materials including wood, paint, filler, varnish, hard and softwood as well as chipboard and metal| 40–180
For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and un- even beams and boards| Coarse| 40
For surface sanding and levelling of slight irregularities| Medium| 80, 120
For finishing and fine sanding of hard woods| Fine| 180

For any finishing work, such as polishing (metal and stone in particular), use fleece/polishing felt.
Different types of fleece and polishing felts should be used depending on the surface finish required on the workpiece.

Removing the two-piece sanding plate (see figure D)

Push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the way to the right.
Remove the sanding plate (7).
Pull the rear sanding plate (8) downwards by the recessed handles and then pull it off backward.

If the front tip of the sanding sheet has worn down, the entire sanding plate can be removed, rotated 120° and put back on again for reuse.

Fitting the two-piece sanding plate (see figure E)

First, place the rear sanding plate (8) onto the sanding plate holder so that the catches fit into the recesses.Press the sanding plate (8) onto the holder until you hear it click into place.
Attach the front sanding plate (7).
To fix the sanding plate in place, push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the way to the left.

Fitting the rectangular sanding plate (see figures F–G)

First, place the rear sanding plate (9) onto the sanding plate holder so that the catches fit into the recesses.Press the sanding plate (9) onto the sanding placeholder until you hear it click into place.
To fix the sanding plate in place, push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the way to the left.
Now check whether the rear part of the sanding plate is properly engaged by pressing on the rear right and left parts of the rectangular sanding plate.

Removing the rectangular sanding plate

Push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the way to the right.

Likewise, each sanding sheet is attached and removed in exactly the same way as the original sanding sheet.
The operation of the special sanding plates is only permitted with a mounted rear sanding plate (8).

Louvre Sanding Attachment (see figure H)

The louvre sanding attachment (15) allows you to work on areas that are particularly difficult to reach, such as slats onwindows, cupboards and doors.

Sanding Finger, Flat (see figure I)

The flat sanding finger (17) allows you to work on narrow slits and tight gaps.
The sanding sheet for the sanding finger (16) is fitted in the same way as the front sanding sheet (14).

Sanding Finger, Oval (see figure I)
The oval sanding finger (18) allows you to work on curves,hollow parts and concave surfaces, such as those found on items of furniture, handrails and radiators.
The sanding sheet for the sanding finger (16) is fitted in the same way as the front sanding sheet (14).

Operation

Starting Operation

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.

Switching On/Off

Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle.
- To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (2) forward so that “I” appears on the switch.
- To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (2) backward so that “0” appears on the switch.

Practical advice

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during opera-tion using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (1).
Select a low speed when polishing in order to avoid heating up the surface excessively.
The material removal rate when sanding is primarily determined by the choice of sanding sheet and the preselected or-bital stroke rate (1).
Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding performance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to increase the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to increased sanding performance, rather it will cause more severe wear of the power tool and of the sanding sheet.
To sand corners, edges and hard-to-reach areas accurately,you can also work with the tips alone or with an edge of the sanding plate.
Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has been used to work on metal.
Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.
