Working Advice

Keep the blower opening unrestricted and
do not crease or bend the vacuum hose. The
motor can overheat.
Always wait until the multi sander has come
to a complete stop before placing it down.
Insert the plug cap for the vacuum hose connec-
tion 9 into the vacuum hose connection 8 when
not using the vacuum cleaner for longer periods.
Working with the Multi Sander
In order to ensure maximum use of the Ventaro
sanding attachment, the following must be ad-
hered to:
– Do not extract any chips, glue residues or sil-
icones with the sanding attachment.
– Do not wet-sand.
– When sanding hard wood, very fine dust is
produced which can clog the pores of the
dust bag.
– If the pores of the dust bag are congested,
the sanding performance decreases.
– When sanding hard wood, the dust bag must
accordingly be replaced more frequent.
The removal capacity during sanding is mainly
determined by the selection of the sanding
sheet.

Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good
sanding capacity and extend the service life of
the machine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pres-
sure; this increases the working life of the sand-
ing sheets.
Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to in-
creased wear of the machine and the sanding
sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, cor-
ners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible
to work only with the tip or an edge of the sand-
ing plate.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal
should not be used for other materials.
To eliminate the hazard of fires, replace the dust
bag in the vacuum cleaner before sanding met-
als.
Use only original Bosch sanding accessories.
Using the Drilling Helper (see figure D)
The drilling helper 19 enables dust-free drilling
in walls etc. to the greatest extent.
Insert the vacuum hose 3 with the extraction
adapter 20 mounted into the connection of the
drilling helper 19.
Switch on the vacuum cleaner and position the
drilling helper 19 against the wall in such a man-
ner that the hole of the drilling helper is flush
with the hole to be drilled. Due to the vacuum,
the drilling helper remains attached to level sur-
faces without requiring further aides.
Using the Extraction/Inflation Nozzle
(see figure E)
The extraction/inflation nozzle 21 can be used
for vacuuming areas that are difficult to access
or for inflating suitable objects.
Insert the vacuum hose 3 with the extraction
adapter 20 mounted into the extraction/infla-
tion nozzle 21.
You can regulate the air flow at the tip of the
nozzle by covering the bore at the side of the
nozzle with your finger or leaving it open.
