Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur
if sander is plugged in while changing an
accessory.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Your tool is equipped with a dust
canister, empty it frequently , after
completion of sanding and before storing
the sander. Be extremely careful of dust
disposal, materials in fine particle form may
be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on
an open fire. Combustion from mixture of
varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or
water with dust particles can occur if there is
a static discharge, spark introduced in the
box, or excessive heat.

taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Preventive maintenance performed by
unauthorized personnel may result in
misplacing of internal wires and
components which could cause serious
hazard. We recommend that all tool service
be performed by a Bosch Factory Service
Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Always wear eye protection and a dust
mask for dusty applications and when
sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be
absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily
and may cause health complications.
Use special precautions when sanding
chemically pressure treated lumber, paint
that may be lead based, or any other
materials that may contain carcinogens. A
suitable breathing respirator and protective
clothing must be worn by all persons entering
the work area. Work area should be sealed
by plastic sheeting and persons not
protected should be kept out until work area
is thoroughly cleaned.
Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids
entering the motor housing is an electrical
shock hazard.
