tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained 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
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Sander
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
u
because the sanding surface may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering
u
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Switch the power tool on before making contact with
u
the workpiece and only switch the power tool off after
you have removed it from the workpiece. The power
tool can move suddenly.
Never touch the sanding belt while it is running. This
u
poses a risk of injury.
Wear protective gloves and never touch the sanding
u
belt while it is running. This poses a risk of injury.
Ensure that no persons are at risk due to flying sparks.
u
Remove combustible materials from the surrounding
area. Flying sparks are created when sanding metals.
Do not use any worn, torn or severely clogged sanding
u
belts. Damaged sanding belts can tear, fly off and injure
someone.
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the work-
u
piece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector
before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the
dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or va-
cuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under
certain conditions, for example if flying sparks are cre-
ated when sanding metals. This risk is increased if the
sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue
or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is
hot as a result of prolonged work.
Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly. The
u
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and ex-
cessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
Bosch Power Tools
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
