For Your Safety

Working safely with this machine is
possible only when the operating
and safety information are read
completely and the instructions
contained therein are strictly fol­lowed. In addition, the general
safety instructions in the enclosed
booklet must be followed.

Before using for the first time, ask
for a practical demonstration.

If the cable is damaged or cut through
while working, do not touch the cable
but immediately pull the mains plug.
Never use the machine with a dam­aged cable.

The dust that is produced while work­ing is detrimental to health. Use dust
extraction and wear a dust mask.

Do not work with materials containing
asbestos.

Connect machines that are used in the open via a

residual current circuit breaker with a triggering
current of 30 mA maximum. Use only extension
cables that are intended for outdoor use and are

protected against splash water.
The machine can be used only for dry sanding.
When working with the machine, always hold it

firmly with both hands and provide for a secure

stance.

Initial Operation

Always use the correct supply voltage: The voltage

of the power source must agree with the value given
on the nameplate of the machine.

Switching on and off

Switching on: Set ON/OFF switch 1 to “I“.
Switching off: Set ON/OFF switch 1 to “0“.

Dust Extraction

Dust extraction prevents large accu­mulations of dust, high concentrations
of dust in the ambient air and facili­tates disposal.

For long periods of working with wood
or for commercial use on materials
that produce dust that is detrimental
to health, the machine is to be con­nected to a suitable external dust ex-

traction device.

Note: When working without a dust vacuum, plug 8

must be inserted in vacuum socket 7 .

Paper dust bag

Push dust bag 6 on adapter 5 . Ensure that adapter
engages in provided holder on dust bag. Insert dust
bag with adapter in vacuum socket 7 .

Empty or replace dust bag 6 regularly to ensure op­timum dust extraction.

Changing Sanding Sheet

Before fitting new sanding sheets remove any dust
and dirt from sanding plate 2 .

Standard sanding sheets

Press or release securing clip 4 .
Push and lock sanding sheet under the open secur-

ing clip 4 .
Lock other end in the same manner. Ensure that

sanding sheet fits firmly against sanding plate 2 .
The perforation pattern in sanding plate 2 must be

aligned with that of sanding sheet 3 in order to en­sure proper dust extraction through the sanding
plate.

Use punching tool 9 to punch holes for dust extrac­tion into unperforated sanding sheets.

Sanding sheets with connecting link
system

(GSS 16 A)

The machine is fitted with a quick­change (connecting link) system, ena­bling sanding sheets to be changed
easily.

The pressure-sensitive sanding sheets are simply
pressed onto the Velcro-type sanding plate. Fin­ished!

Only use original Bosch sanding sheets with

the pressure-sensitive connecting link.

Tissue dust bag (Accessory)

Push dust bag 10 on adapter 5 . Ensure that adapter
engages in provided holder on dust bag. Insert dust
bag with adapter in vacuum socket 7 .

External dust extraction with vacuum
cleaner

A vacuum adapter must be utilized when a vacuum
cleaner is used for external dust extraction (Acces­sory).

The appliance can be plugged directly into the
socket of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner which
incorporates a remote-control start device. The vac­uum cleaner automatically starts when the appliance
is switched on.

Operating Instructions

Sanding

The removal rate is determined mainly by the sand­ing sheet selected and the controlled contact pres­sure of the sanding plate.

Move the orbital sander parallel and in circular spots
or alternately in lengthways and crossways direc­tions. Do not apply excessive pressure to the orbital
sander!

An excessive increase in the application pressure

produces no increase in the sanding performance

and causes heavy wear to the machine and the

sanding tool.
Take care to apply uniform application pressure.

This increases the service life of the sanding

sheet.
Only flawless sanding sheet produce good sand-

ing results and protect the machine. Clogged

sanding sheet produce poor sanding results.

Do not sand wood and metal with the same sand-

ing sheet.

Use only original Bosch sanding sheets and ac-

cessories.

Sample applications:

Material Grit
Paints: Roughening

Repairing scratches
Removing rust

Wood: Soft wood

Hard wood
Veneers

Metal: Aluminium

Steel

These are recommendations. The optimal sanding
grit and the best rotational speed are best deter­mined in actual practice.
