Maintenance

Service

!WARNING 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 Autho- rized Bosch Service Station.

TOOL LUBRICATION

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

BEARINGS

After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at every second brush change, the bearings

should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station. Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor failure.

Cleaning

!WARNING To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from

the power supply before cleaning or performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.

Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.

Certain cleaning agents and ! CAUTION solvents damage plastic

parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Accessories

!If an extension cord is WARNING necessary, a cord with

adequate size conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

The Bosch ROS10 is designed for smooth and efficient sanding tasks. One of its notable features is the Microfilter System, which helps trap dust particles as small as half a micron. This ensures a cleaner workspace and contributes to better visibility while sanding. Moreover, the ROS10 offers a 2.5-amp motor that provides a robust performance with a no-load speed of up to 12,000 orbits per minute. This makes it ideal for various applications, from removing old paint to preparing surfaces for finishing.

An ergonomic design is a key characteristic of the ROS10, featuring a soft-grip top and body that enhance comfort during extended use. The tool’s lightweight build further minimizes user fatigue, allowing for longer sanding sessions with reduced strain. The hook-and-loop attachment system for sandpaper makes changing sandpaper discs swift and hassle-free, promoting increased productivity.

On the other hand, the Bosch ROS20VS brings versatile features that make it suitable for both detailed tasks and broader sanding jobs. It boasts an integrated dust collection system that actively collects dust through a built-in vacuum port, ensuring a clean and efficient work environment. Equipped with a variable speed control, the ROS20VS allows users to customize the speed depending on the material and the type of project, making it adaptable for a wide range of tasks.

With its 2.5-amp motor and premium construction, the ROS20VS also delivers exceptional power and durability. This sander includes an ergonomic design that combines comfort with control, featuring a soft-grip handle and well-balanced structure. Additionally, the user-friendly design of the dust canister makes it easy to empty and clean after use.

In summary, both the Bosch ROS10 and ROS20VS random orbit sanders are engineered to offer remarkable performance, effective dust management, and superb handling. Their advancing technologies and user-centric features make them indispensable tools in any woodworking or remodeling project. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a dedicated DIYer, these sanders promise to deliver outstanding results every time.
