180, 240
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly de-
termined by the selection of the sanding sheet.
40 — 320
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sand-
ing capacity and extend the service life of the
tool.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure;
this increases the working life of the sanding
40, 60
sheets.
Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-
180, 240,
creased wear of the tool and the sanding sheet.
320
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
