Operation

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 1
forward so that the "I" is indicated on the
switch.
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off
switch 1 toward the rear so that the "0" is indi-
cated on the switch.
Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the or-
bital stroke rate 2, you can preselect the required
orbital stroke rate, even during operation.
The required stroke rate depends on the materi-
al and the working conditions and can be deter-
mined through practical testing.

Working Advice

Note: Do not cover off the venting slots 5 of the
machine while working, as this reduces the
working life of the machine.
While working with HCS tools make sure that
the covering of the tools is undamaged.
Operating Principle
Due to the oscillating drive the application
tool/accessory swings up to 21000 times per
minute for 2,8°. This allows for precise work
in narrow spaces.
Sawing
Use undamaged faultless saw blades only.
Deformed, blunt saw blades or saw blades
that are otherwise damaged can break.
When sawing light building materials, ob-
serve the statutory provisions and the rec-
ommendations of the material suppliers.

Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft
materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster
boards, etc.!
Before sawing with HCS saw blades in wood,
particle board, building materials, etc., check
these for foreign objects such as nails, screws,
or similar. If required, remove foreign objects or
use BIM saw blades.
Separating
Note: When separating wall tiles take into con-
sideration that the application tools/accesso-
ries wear heavily when used for longer periods
of time.
Sanding
The removal rate and the sanding pattern are
primarily determined by the choice of sanding
sheet, the preset oscillation rate and the ap-
plied pressure.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good
sanding capacity and extend the service life
of the machine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pres-
sure; this increases the working life of the sand-
ing sheets.
Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-
creased wear of the machine and the sanding
sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, cor-
ners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible
to work only with the tip or an edge of the sand-
ing plate.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
For sanding, always connect dust extraction.
Scraping
For scraping, select a high oscillation rate.
Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) at a flat ange,
and apply only light pressure. Otherwise the
scraper can cut into the surface.
