Before attaching the sanding sheet 15, free the Velcro back-
ing of the sanding plate 14 from any debris by tapping against
it in order to enable optimum adhesion.
Position the sanding sheet 15 flush alongside one edge of the
sanding plate 14, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding
plate and press firmly.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in
the sanding plate.
To remove the sanding sheet 15, grasp it at one of the tips and
pull it off from the sanding plate 14.
You can use all sanding sheets, fleece pads/polishing cloth
pads of the Delta 93 mm series of Bosch accessory program.
Sanding accessories, such as fleece pads/polishing cloth
pads, are attached to the sanding plate in the same manner.
Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
Dust/Chip Extraction
 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Connecting the Dust Extraction (see figure A)
For sanding, always connect the dust extraction.
Remove the application tool/accessory when mounting the
dust extraction
19 (accessory).
If required, assemble the parts of the dust extraction 19 as
shown in the figure. Position the assembled dust extraction
onto the machine via the tool holder
8. Turn the dust extrac-
tion in such a manner that the cams of the dust extraction en-
gage into the corresponding recesses on the housing. Fasten
the dust extraction to the machine with the retaining clip
17
as shown in the figure.
Pay attention that the felt ring 16 is undamaged and faces
tightly against the sanding plate 14. Replace a damage felt
ring immediately.
Depending on machine version, place a vacuum hose 20 (ac-
cessory) either directly onto the vacuum connection 18 or cut
off the old hose end, screw the extraction adapter 21 (acces-
sory) onto the hose end and then place it directly onto the
vacuum connection
18. Connect the vacuum hose 20 with a
vacuum cleaner (accessory). An overview for the connection
of various vacuum cleaners can be found on the fold-out page.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
