Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the sander, choose between the included 32 mm adhesive pad or the hook-and-loop pad based on your sandpaper preference and attach it securely to the tool base. The sander is compatible with all Bosch Professional 12V (GBA) batteries; simply slide the battery into the base until it clicks into place. For maintenance, ensure the ventilation slots remain clear of dust build-up to allow the brushless motor to cool effectively. When performing wet sanding, periodically wipe down the housing with a dry cloth after use to prevent moisture accumulation. Store the tool in the included foam inlay to protect the sanding base from deformation when not in use.
