##

Remove the accessory if one has already been fitted.

To do so, open the Starlock lever (7) all the way. The accessory will be ejected.

Position the required accessory (e.g. plunge cut saw blade (12)) on the tool holder (8) so that the depressed centre is facing downwards (see figure on the graphics page, text on the accessory should be legible from above).

When doing so, place the accessory in a position which is convenient for the job at hand. Twelve positions offset by 30° are possible for this.

Press the accessory in the required position firmly onto the clamping jaws of the tool holder until it locks automatically.

- Check that the accessory is seated securely. Accessories that are attached incorrectly or are not securely fixed in place may come loose during operation, thereby putting you at risk.

##

The depth stop (11) can be used when working with segment and plunge cut saw blades.

Remove the accessory if one has already been fitted.

Slide the depth stop (11) into the required working position over the tool holder (8) and onto the collar of the power tool as far as it will go. Allow the depth stop to engage. Twelve positions offset by 30° are possible for this.

Set the depth you wish to work at. Push the clamping lever (10) of the depth stop shut to fix the depth stop in position.

##

Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the material you are working with and the required surface removal rate:

Sanding sheet | Material | Application | Grit
--- | --- | --- | ---
| All wood and wood-based materials (e.g. hardwood, softwood, chipboard, construction boards) Metal materials | For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and uneven beams and boards | Coarse | 40 60
For surface sanding and levelling of slight irregularities | Medium | 80 100 120
For finish-sanding and fine sanding of wood | Fine | 180 240 320 400
| Paint Varnish Filler Bodyfiller | For sanding down paint | Coarse | 40 60
For sanding undercoats (e.g. removing brushstrokes, paint drips and paint runs) | Medium | 80 100 120
For final sanding of primers prior to painting | Fine | 180 240 320 400

##

The sanding plate (14) is fitted with a hook-and-loop fastening, allowing sanding sheets with a hook-and-loop backing to be secured quickly and easily.

Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate (14) before fitting the sanding sheet (15) to facilitate maximum adhesion.

Position the sanding sheet (15) so that it is flush with one side of the sanding plate (14), then place the sanding sheet on the sanding plate and press it on firmly.

To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the drilled holes in the sanding plate.

To remove the sanding sheet (15), take hold of it by a corner and pull it away from the sanding plate (14).

You can use all sanding sheets, polishing and cleaning fleeces from the Delta 93 mm series in the Bosch range of accessories.

Sanding accessories such as fleece/polishing felt are attached to the sanding plate in the same way.

Orbital stroke rate level "4" is the maximum level that should be used when working with sanding accessories such as sanding sheets and sanding plates. If the orbital stroke rate is too high, this will considerably increase the wear of the accessory and can also lead to premature breakdown. Please take note of the information on the accessory or on the packaging of the accessory.
