Constant Electronic control
The Constant Electronic keeps the speed at no load and un-
der load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform perform-
ance.
Soft start
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power
tool is switched on and increases the service life of the mo-
tor.

Working advice

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own
u
weight.
Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a
u
stop.
If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load,
u
continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to
cool down the accessory.
Only hold the power tool by the handle and auxiliary
u
handle during work. The application tool could come
into contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with live wires may make metal parts of the tool live,
posing a risk of electric shock (see figure A).
Polishing
For polishing weathered lacquers and redressing scratches
(e.g. acrylic glass), the power tool can be fitted with an ap-
propriate polishing tool, e.g. lambswool bonnet, polishing
felt or polishing sponge (accessory).
Select a low speed for polishing (level 1–2) to prevent the
surface from overheating.
Apply the polish to an area slightly smaller than the area
which you intend to polish. Using the appropriate polishing
tool, work in the polish using side-to-side or circular motions
and applying moderate pressure.
Do not allow the polish to dry out on the surface; this may
damage the surface. Do not expose the surface which you in-
tend to polish to direct sunlight. Clean the polishing tools
regularly to ensure good polishing results. Wash the polish-
ing tools with mild detergent and warm water; do not use
thinning agents.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
u
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
In extreme conditions, always use a dust extractor if
u
possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and in-
stall a residual current device (RCD) upstream. When
machining metals, conductive dust can settle inside the
power tool, which can affect its protective insulation.
Store and handle the accessories carefully.

In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
