Turn tool on and place the complete sanding surface on the workpiece to achieve uniform material removal. Work with moderate forward motion. Perform the sanding movements with parallel and overlapping passes. Sand in the direction of the grain; crossways sanding can result in uneven finishes.
As a result of the high removal rate, only light application pressure should be used while working to prevent damage to workpiece.
When sanding corner frames (e.g., interior corners), always move forward only so far that the sanding belt does not come in contact with the side that is vertical to the workpiece.
FLUSH SANDING
Your sander has been designed to allow convenient flush sanding on the right side of the sander, however your sander can be used on either surface by simply turning the tool upside down. This unique design allows flush sanding on the right and left sides of a workpiece.
ATTENTION: When the tool is being used upside down belt will rotate the opposite direction, and the dust collection system will not work.
Only flawless sanding belts produce good sanding results and protect the tool. Do not continue to use worn out, torn or heavily clogged sanding belts.
To increase belt life, apply uniform pressure. Increasing pressure does not improve sanding performance, but increases wear to the tool and the sanding belt.
Do not sand wood and metal with the same sanding belt.
Use only original Bosch sanding belts and accessories.
