Operating instructions
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.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, cor-
ners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible
to work only with the tip or an edge of the sand-
ing plate.
When selectively sanding on the spot, the sand-
ing sheet can heat up considerably. Reduce the
orbital stroke rate and allow the sanding sheet
to cool down regularly.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
For sanding, always connect dust extraction.
Scraping
For scraping, select a high oscillation rate.
Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) at a flat ange,
and apply only light pressure. Otherwise the
scraper can cut into the surface.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
When using as intended for, the machine cannot
be overloaded. In case of excessive loading or
when exceeding the allowable battery tempera-
ture range of 0–70 °C, the speed is reduced or
the machine switches off. In case of reduced
speed, the machine will not run at full speed un-
til after reaching the allowable battery tempera-
ture again. In case of automatic shut-off, switch
the machine off, allow the battery to cool down
and then switch the machine on again.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling
of the Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Store the battery only within a temperature
range between 0 °C and 45 °C. As an example,
do not leave the battery in the car in summer.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
e
Before any work on the machine itself (e.g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the
battery from the power tool. There is danger
of injury when unintentionally actuating the
On/Off switch.
e
For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
Clean Riff application tools (accessory) regular-
ly with a wire brush.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for Bosch power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article
number given on the type plate of the machine.
