How to use

Connect the Bosch GTR 55-225 to a compatible power source and select an appropriate sanding pad or abrasive for the material and finish required. Start the tool at a low speed to position it on the work surface, then increase to the operating speed as needed to achieve uniform removal of joint compound or surface material. Move the sander with smooth, overlapping strokes, keeping consistent pressure to avoid gouging. Pay attention to edges and corners and use smaller passes where precise control is required.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, a dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection when operating the sander. For improved dust control, connect the tool to a compatible extraction system where possible. Select abrasive grit progressively from coarse to fine to achieve the desired surface finish and minimise rework.
