Remove the accessory if one has already been fitted.
To remove the accessory, use the hex key (17) to loosen the clamping bolt (16) and remove the tool.
Position the required accessory (e.g. plunge cut saw blade (11)) on the accessory holder (9) so that the depressed centre is facing downwards (see figure on the graphics page, text on the accessory should be legible from above).
Turn the accessory to a position which is convenient for the job at hand and allow it to lock into place in the cams of the tool holder (9). Twelve positions offset by 30° are possible for this.
The built-in magnet (10) holds the accessory in the required position in order to make it easier to mount.
Secure the accessory using the clamping bolt (16). Tighten the clamping bolt using the hex key (17) until it is flush with the accessory.
- 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 (18) can be used when working with segment saw blades.
Remove the accessory if one has already been fitted.
Slide the depth stop (18) over the tool holder (9) and onto the collar of the power tool as far as it will go, with the labelled side facing upwards.
The depth stop is intended for the following cutting depths:
- With segment saw blades ACZ 85 .. with a diameter of 85 mm: Cutting depths 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm (information on the depth stop in a larger font size and without brackets).
- With segment saw blades ACZ 100 .. with a diameter of 100 mm: Cutting depths 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm and 20 mm (information on the depth stop in a smaller font size and in brackets).
Insert the appropriate segment saw blade for the desired cutting depth. Slide the depth stop (18) from the tool holder (9) in the direction of the accessory until you can rotate it freely. Rotate the depth stop (18) so that the desired cutting depth is above the section of the saw blade that will be used to saw. Slide the depth stop (18) onto the collar of the power tool once again as far as it will go.
Remove the depth stop (18) for all other cutting depths and for working with other accessories. To do this, remove the accessory and pull the depth stop away from the collar.
The low-vibration auxiliary handle (24) enables the tool to be used safely and more comfortably.
Screw the auxiliary handle into the thread (8) on the left or right of the machine head depending on how you are working.
- Do not continue to use the power tool if the auxiliary handle is damaged. Do not make any alterations to the auxiliary handle.
Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the material you are working with and the required surface removal rate:
Sanding sheet | Material | Application | Grit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and uneven beams and boards | Coarse | 40 |
For surface sanding and levelling of slight irregularities | Medium | 80 | ||
For finish-sanding and fine sanding of wood | Fine | 180 | ||
|
| For sanding down paint | Coarse | 40 |
For sanding undercoats (e.g. removing brushstrokes, paint drips and paint runs) | Medium | 80 | ||
For final sanding of primers prior to painting | Fine | 180 | ||
The sanding plate (12) 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 (12) before fitting the sanding sheet (13) to facilitate maximum adhesion.
Position the sanding sheet (13) so that it is flush with one side of the sanding plate (12), 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 (13), take hold of it by a corner and pull it away from the sanding plate (12).
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.
