To troubleshoot if the Bosch PDA 180 sander is not effectively sanding the surface, you can follow these steps: 1. Check the sanding sheet: Ensure that the sanding sheet is securely attached to the sanding plate. If it is loose or worn out, remove it and replace it with a new one. Make sure to select the appropriate sanding sheet for the material and desired rate of material removal. 2. Verify the orbital stroke rate: Use the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke rate to adjust the required stroke rate. The optimal stroke rate depends on the material and working conditions. You can experiment with different stroke rates to find the most effective one. 3. Apply uniform sanding pressure: Apply consistent and even pressure while sanding. Avoid intensifying the sanding pressure, as it can lead to increased wear of the machine and the sanding sheet without improving the sanding capacity. 4. Check the condition of the sanding accessories: Ensure that you are using original Bosch sanding accessories. Flawless sanding sheets achieve better sanding capacity and prolong the machine's service life. 5. Clean and maintain the machine: Regularly clean the machine and its ventilation slots to ensure proper functioning.
