▶ Electronic Feedback
Circuitry (EFC)
The internal electronic feedback system
provides a "soft start", which will reduce
the stresses that occur from a high
torque start. The system also helps to
keep the no load speed virtually
constant between no-load and load
conditions.
▶ Variable Speed with
Dial Setting
Your sander is also equipped with a
variable speed dial. The sander's orbital
pad speed can be preset from zero to
maximum nameplate OPM by rotating
the dial in the housing. The dial may be
set on or between any of six positions
(1=low through 6=high).

general guide for abrasive and backing

the workpiece first.
Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding
discs are recommended for most wood
or metal sanding applications, as this
synthetic material cuts quickly and
wears well. Some applications, such as
plastics, glass, or stone require silicon
carbide discs, which have a very sharp
cutting edge. For best results, use
Bosch
sanding
accessories which are of superior
quality and are carefully selected to
produce professional quality results
with your sander.
