To lock the on/off switch (5) press and hold it while also
pushing the lock-on button (7).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5).
If the on/off switch (5) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Preselecting the Belt Speed (PBS 75 AE)
You can even preselect the necessary belt speed during op-
eration using the belt speed preselection thumbwheel (4).
The required belt speed is dependent on the material and
the work conditions and can be determined using practical
tests.

Practical advice

Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
The material removal rate when sanding and the surface
quality are primarily determined by the choice of sanding
belt and the preselected belt speed (PBS 75 AE). The higher
the belt speed, the higher the removal rate and the finer the
sanded surface becomes.
Only sanding belts in perfect condition achieve good sanding
performance and make the power tool last longer.
Apply as little contact pressure as possible while working in
order to increase the service life of the sanding belts. The
weight of the power tool alone is enough to ensure good
sanding performance. Excessively increasing the contact
pressure will not lead to increased sanding performance,
rather it will cause more severe wear of the power tool and of
the sanding belt.
Place the running power tool on the surface you wish to work
on. Work with moderate feed and carry out sanding in paral-
lel and overlapping with the sanding path. Sand with the
grain; sanding marks that run against the grain result in both-
ersome sanding effects.
Especially when sanding off paint residue, the residue could
merge together, resulting in smears on the workpiece sur-
face and the sanding belt. Therefore, do not work without
dust extraction.
A sanding belt that has been used to work on metal should
no longer be used to work on other materials.
Use only original Bosch-sanding accessories.
Only ever store sanding belts hanging up and do not fold
them as this makes them unusable.
The sanding frame (accessory) enables an even, adjustable
material removal rate while sanding large wooden surfaces.

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 order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord
needs to be replaced, this must be done by Bosch or by an
Bosch Power Tools
after-sales service centre that is authorised to repair Bosch
power tools.
Cleaning the Dust Channel (see figure E)
Remove the protective cover (14) from time to time and
clean the dust channel (15) to maintain optimal suction
power.
