General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Rules for Random Orbital Sanders

a. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the sanding disk may contact its own cord. Sanding disk contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
b. Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if sander is plugged in while changing an accessory.
c. If your tool is equipped with a dust bag, empty it frequently and after completion of sanding. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may, in time, result from mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
d. Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health complications.
e. Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated lumber, paint that may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens. A suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing must be worn by all persons entering the work area. Work area should be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.

f. Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing is an electrical shock hazard.
g. Do not use PSA pad on random orbit sanders whose speed exceeds 12,000/min. Exceeding the maximum operating speed of pad may cause pad to rupture or fly apart during use striking user or bystanders.
h. Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.
i. Be aware of the location and setting of the Switch "Lock-ON" Button. If the switch is locked "ON", be ready for emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by first pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON" button.
j. Clamp or secure workpiece when sanding. Clamping the workpiece prevents it from being ejected from under the sander and leaves both hands to control the tool.
k. Keep the cord away from the spinning pad and sandpaper. The cord can become entangled with the pad.

Additional Safety Warnings

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

  • Lead from lead-based paints,
  • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Backing Pad Installation

The random orbit sander is equipped with a backing pad of medium hardness, which is suitable for general service. Hard and extra-soft pads are available for other purposes, and in general are used as follows;

Soft pad - Polishing or sanding large or curved surfaces.

Medium pad - All purpose general sanding and polishing.

Hard pad - Heavy sanding on flat surfaces, especially with coarser abrasives.

To change backing pad, hold pad firmly and remove the screw using a 5 mm hex wrench that secures the backing pad and remove old pad. Align new pad over drive gear on drive spindle. Attention: always be sure the teeth on the drive gear engage into the openings on the backing pad. Replace screw and securely tighten. Damaged or worn backing pads must be replaced immediately (Fig. 2).

Installing Accessories

The random orbit sander uses hook-and-loop backed accessories, which firmly grip the pad when applied with moderate pressure. To change the accessory, merely peel off the old accessory, remove dust from the pad if necessary, and press the new accessory in place (Fig. 3). Be sure to align the sanding disc holes with the holes in the backing pad to allow the dust extraction system to function.

BOSCH GEX 33-5 Professional - Installing Accessories - 1

text_image FIG. 3 SANDING DISC BACKING PAD

After considerable service the pad surface will become worn, and the pad must be replaced when it no longer offers a firm grip. If you are experiencing premature wearout of the pad hooks, it may be due to pressure being applied to the tool during operation.

Front Handle

Your sander is equipped with a removable front handle when sanding in tight quarters. To remove handle, remove screw with 5 mm hex wrench. Always reinstall handle for normal operation (Fig. 1).

Depending on the task, you may grip the rear handle alone, the rear handle and the front handle, or the rear handle and the top of the ergonomically contoured soft grip motor housing, which is designed for that purpose.

Assembly

Backing Pad Damper

Your tool is equipped with an integrated backing pad damper ring. This damper reduces the no-load speed, which helps prevent swirl marks on the workpiece surface and provides uniform finishing.

NOTE: If you notice steadily increasing no-load speed, this indicates that the damper ring is worn and needs to be replaced.

To replace damper ring, remove backing pad as described in "Backing Pad Installation" and remove worn damper ring by pulling firmly out of locating groove. Align notch on damper ring with locating tab on shroud and depress ring with thumbs until shroud seats into groove completely around ring (Fig. 4).

Re-attach backing pad as described in "Backing Pad Installation".

IMPORTANT: Ring should not have bends or ripples when correctly seated.

Dust Collection

Microfilter Dust Canister

The integral dust extraction system collects sanding dust in canister supplied with your sander. For maximum efficiency, the dust canister should be emptied frequently during operation.

WARNING

Your tool is equipped with a dust canister;

empty it frequently after completion of sanding and before storing the sander. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Combustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles can occur if there is a static discharge, spark introduced in the box, or excessive heat.

Dust Collection

REMOVING AND INSTALLING DUST CANISTER

To attach dust canister, push on the dust port in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 5).

To remove dust canister, squeeze release tabs on both sides of canister and simply pull away from the tool (Fig. 6).

CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE DUST CANISTER

It is recommended to loosen dust from the microfilter by gently striking it against a solid surface (Fig. 7).

To empty, lift lid of canister. Knock excess dust out of the micro filter, or remove dust with your fingers or a soft brush (Fig. 8).

You may notice that all the dust may not come out of the canister. This will not affect sanding performance but will reduce dust collection efficiency.

NOTE: Do not wash the microfilter with soap and water. Dust may become more firmly lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust collection, and damage the micro filter.

To ensure optimum dust extraction, empty and clean the canister and microfilter frequently.

Tool Tips

Selecting Sanding Discs

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 and polishing accessories, which are of superior quality and are carefully selected to produce professional quality results with your sander.

An alternative to standard sanding discs is to use a SandNet ^™ connection pad and SandNet ^™ mesh sanding discs.

Start of Sanding

With the workpiece firmly secured, first place the sander's pad on the work surface, then switch the tool on.

DO NOT start the tool and bring it up to speed before applying to the work

DO NOT apply excessive pressure when switch the tool on (or at any other time) Either method will likely create swirl marks.

Applying excessive pressure upon start-up will also shorten the life of the switch.

Sanding Action

This sander has optimized random sanding action. The pad orbits and rotates freely, duplicating natural hand sanding action for aggressive stock removal and smooth, well-blended surface finish. The orbit offset for this tool is 2 mm (5/64")

In general, higher speeds will give the best results. If faster removal is desired, DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE ON THE TOOL; use a coarser grade of abrasive. Move the sander in long sweeping strokes, parallel to the grain using some lateral motion to overlap the strokes by as much as 75%. The random orbit action allows cross-grain sanding, but be careful not to tilt the sander near edges, or undesirable rounding may result.

Sanding Sequence

If the surface is rough, begin with coarser grits and then complete the surfacing with medium and fine abrasives. Because the random orbit action is so effective, it is often possible to begin sanding with a medium grit disc and go directly to fine finishing. To avoid uneven results, do not skip more than one grit size when going from coarser to finer, and do not sand in one area for too long.

Removal of Sander

To help prevent swirl marks when the job is completed, gently lift the tool from the work surface, then switch the tool off.

Operating in this manner will also prolong the switch life.

Polishing

For most polishing, the extra-soft backing pad will give the best results. The random orbit sander may be fitted with an optional foam buffing pad or polishing bonnet to polish or remove scratches from painted or finished surfaces, plastics, and even glass. The tool is operated in much the same way as when sanding, but the following points should be observed;

Apply the compound to the surface, and use the sponge applicator pad with light pressure and a circular motion to remove scratches and restore weathered finishes. Use only as much compound as necessary, and clean the sponge frequently during use. When initial polishing is completed, wipe away any excess compound with a soft towel, and then polish the surface to its final finish with the polishing bonnet. Use smooth overlapping strokes for best results. It is important to note that the orbit speed of the random orbit sander is not the same as the RPM of a standard right-angle polisher. The random orbit action is much like a powerful hand polishing action, and therefore does not have the high speeds at the edge of the pad which can burn the work surface. For this reason, it is possible to select a higher OPM for the random orbit sander than the recommended RPM for a standard polisher. Practice on a hidden area or test surface until you have determined the tool is suitable for your polishing application.

Clean the buffing pad and polishing bonnet with mild detergents and warm water. DO NOT use solvents.

Maintenance

BOSCH GEX 33-5 Professional - Maintenance - 1

To avoid accidents always dis connect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or performing any main tenance.

Service

WARNING

Preventive maintenance performed by

unauthorized per so n nel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Autho rized Bosch Service Station.

Tool Lubrication

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
