FAQs
Does this tool come with a battery?
No, the Bosch GPX 12V-125 is typically sold as a bare tool, compatible with all Bosch Professional GBA 12V batteries.
Can I use pads larger than 125mm?
The tool is optimized for the included 125mm pad. Using significantly larger pads may affect performance, balance, and motor longevity.
Is this suitable for removing deep scratches?
No, this tool is designed for light scratch removal, hologram elimination, and finishing. Deep scratches may require a more powerful rotary polisher.
How do I change the speed settings?
Use the integrated HMI (Human Machine Interface) buttons on the tool to cycle through the 5-level speed selection.
How long will the battery last?
Battery life depends on the amp-hour capacity of your specific GBA 12V battery and the pressure applied during use.
Troubleshooting
The polisher vibrates excessively.
Ensure the polishing pad is centered correctly on the 125mm backing pad and verify that the pad itself is not damaged or saturated with too much compound.
Tool stops unexpectedly during use.
Check the battery charge indicator; the tool may have triggered an overload protection or the battery is depleted. Allow the tool to cool down if the motor feels hot.
Polish is splashing during startup.
Ensure you are activating the soft start feature properly; keep the pad flat against the surface before pulling the trigger to utilize the tool's smooth acceleration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the polisher, ensure you are using a fully charged Bosch GBA 12V battery. Align the 125mm backing pad securely to the mount before attaching your foam or microfiber pad. Always ensure the pad is centered to avoid vibration.
Regarding care, clean the backing pad and the exterior casing with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents that may damage the plastic housing. Periodically check the air intake vents to ensure they are free from dust and compound buildup to maintain proper motor cooling. Always store the tool in a dry environment and remove the battery during storage to preserve the power cell's longevity.
