The Bosch GTR55-85 9-inch drywall sander kit is a game-changer for sanding jobs. It allows you to sand muds and plasters on ceilings, walls, and other surfaces more smoothly, easily, and rapidly. Its exclusive Ultra-Flexible Head minimizes the risk of surface damage and enables effortless movement across ceilings and walls. This sander comes with two suction modes: wall-sanding and ceiling-suction. The ceiling-suction mode reduces the tool's weight when working overhead, easing strain and fatigue. The T-Handle grip offers a better and more adaptable hold, especially when sanding above your head. It includes a quick-release extension pole, which lets you adjust the sander's length quickly. Removing the extension reduces the weight compared to a telescoping pole. With easy-to-reach power switch, rpm, and airflow controls, you can make adjustments without taking your hand off the grip. The kit includes a 9-inch drywall sander, a sanding sheet, a GTR801 soft backing pad, a GTR024 extension pole, three cable clips for the vacuum hose, a 5mm wrench, a VAC024 vacuum hose adapter, and a carrying case. The sander also features a speed selector for different materials and applications, constant speed for smooth operation under load, a removable brush for sanding up to corners, and a flexible dust hose for nearly dust-free sanding.
Using the Bosch GTR55-85 drywall sander is straightforward. First, assemble the tool by attaching the extension pole if needed and connecting the vacuum hose. Choose the appropriate suction mode - wall-sanding for horizontal surfaces and ceiling-suction for overhead work. The ceiling-suction mode will make the tool lighter and more comfortable to use when sanding above your head. Hold the sander with the T-Handle grip, which is designed to reduce arm strain. Adjust the power switch, rpm, and airflow controls without removing your hand from the grip to suit the surface and the job. You can use the speed selector to get the best results for different materials. When you're done with overhead work and need to sand walls, use the quick-release extension pole to adjust the length. It also helps to reduce the weight when the extension is removed. Be careful not to apply too much pressure on the Ultra-Flexible Head to avoid surface damage. After each use, clean the sander and the dust hose. Check the removable brush regularly and replace it if it's worn out. Store the sander in the carrying case provided to keep it safe and organized.
