Use and Care Manual

-9-
Disconnect battery pack
from tool before making
any assembly, adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Only use Bosch
accessories rated 21000
OPM or greater. Using accessories not
designed for this power tool may result in
serious personal injury and property damage.
For all work or when
changing accessories
always wear protective gloves. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
injury from sharp edges of the accessories.
Accessories can become very hot while
working. Danger of burns!
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
If necessary, remove an already-mounted
accessory. (See REMOVING ACCESSORIES
below)
1. Position the accessory such that its model
number will face the oscillating tool’s
accessory holder (Fig. 2).
2. Determine the desired angle of the
accessory to the tool. Accessories can be
mounted such that they are oriented with
their working edge straight ahead of the tool,
or angled to the left or right to enhance
usability. (Fig. 2)
3. Fasten the accessory to the tool using the
hex screw. Securely tighten the screw with
the hex key.
Check the tight seating of
the accessory. Incorrect or
not securely fastened accessories can come
loose during operation and pose a hazard.
REMOVING ACCESSORIES
To remove accessory, loosen and remove the
hex screw using the hex key.
In order to help ensure that the tool has a solid
grip of the accessory, clean the accessory
holder and accessories as necessary with a
clean cloth.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING
SANDING SHEETS
Your backing pad uses hook-and-loop backed
accessories, which firmly grip the backing pad
when applied with moderate pressure.
1. Align the sanding sheet and press it onto the
sanding backing pad by hand.
2. Firmly press the power tool with the sanding
sheet against a flat surface and briefly
switch the power tool on. This will promote
good adhesion and helps to prevent
premature wear.
