Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your coun-
try for the materials to be worked.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box
(see figures G1 – G4)
Attach the dust box 4 onto the outlet piece 12 un-
til it engages.
To empty the dust box 4, pull off the dust box
downward.
Before opening the dust box 4, it is recommend-
ed to loosen the dust from the filter element by
gently striking it against a firm support (as shown
in the figure).
Grasp the dust box 4 by the recessed grip, fold
the filter element 13 upward and empty the dust
box. Clean the thin plates of the filter element 13
with a soft brush.
External Dust Extraction (see figure H)
Attach a vacuum hose 14 onto the outlet piece
12. Connect the vacuum hose 14 to a vacuum
cleaner. See the overview for connecting to vari-
ous vacuum cleaners at the end of these operat-
ing instructions.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
Bosch Power Tools
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Replacing the Sanding Sheet
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any
dust or debris from the sanding plate 6 (e. g. with
a brush).
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay atten-
tion that the punched holes in the sanding sheet
match with the holes in the sanding plate.
Sanding Sheets with Velcro Backing
(see figure A)
The sanding plate 6 is fitted with Velcro backing
for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets
with Velcro adhesion.
Before attaching the sanding sheet 7, free the
Velcro backing of the sanding plate 6 from any
debris by tapping against it in order to enable op-
timum adhesion.
Position the sanding sheet 7 flush alongside one
edge of the sanding plate 6, then lay the sanding
sheet onto the sanding plate and press it against it
with a light turning motion in clockwise direction.
To remove the sanding sheet 7, grasp it at one of
the tips and pull it off from the sanding plate 6.
Sanding Sheets without Velcro Backing
(see figures B–D)
Press the release button 8 and keep it
pressed.
Guide the sanding sheet 7 to the stop under
the opened front clamping bracket 9 and let
go of the release button 8 again. Pay atten-
tion that the sanding sheet is clamped cen-
trally.
Press the sanding sheet clamp 5 inward and
pivot it to the stop.
Fold the sanding sheet 7 firmly around the
sanding plate. Guide the other end of the
sanding sheet 7 between the rear clamping
bracket and the red roller on the clamping
bracket 5.
Hold the sanding sheet tensely and press the
clamping bracket 5 toward the sanding plate
to lock the sanding sheet.
