User manual BOSCH PSM 160 A

[. . . ] S The machine can be used only for dry sanding. S Do not work with materials containing asbestos. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. S Always switch the machine off and wait until it has come to a standstill before placing it down. [. . . ] Before placing on the sanding sheet, free the Velcro backing of the sanding plate from dust /debris by lightly tapping against it. The machine is equipped with 2 sanding sheets that can be changed individually depending on the condition of wear. S Only use the machine when both sanding sheets are attached. Only use sanding sheets with the same grain size. Position the sanding sheet flush on one side of the sanding plate; attach the sanding sheet and press against the sanding plate with a light turning motion in clockwise direction. Attachment and removal of all sanding accessories is carried out in the same manner as when replacing the sanding plate. Using the detail-sanding attachment 11 enables the sanding of hard to reach areas, such as window sills or thin lamellar plates of cabinets and doors. Additionally, it can also be fitted on the top side with a Velcro backing 13 for attaching sanding sheets 12. The oval sanding tongue 15 is already equipped with Velcro backing on both sides, which also allows for double-sided fitting of sanding sheets 12. This is especially convenient for sanding curves and hollow spaces or arched surfaces as can be found on furniture, banisters or radiators. The dust that is produced while working can be detrimental to health, inflammable or explosive. examples: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Use suitable dust /chip extraction and wear a dust respirator. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Always keep the workplace clean, as blends of materials are particularly dangerous. For precise on-the-spot sanding of corners, edges and hard to reach areas, working is possible only with the tip or an edge of the sanding plate. Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity and make the machine last longer. Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding sheets. Intensifying the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the machine and the sanding tools. A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials. [. . . ] The wires in the cable are coloured according to the following code: Slide the extraction adapter 7 onto the outlet piece 6 and make sure that the latches engage. To remove, press the latches together at the rear and pull off the extraction adapter. Live = brown neutral = blue Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth terminal of the plug. Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is removed from the cable of this machine, it must be disposed of safely. [. . . ]
