I couldn't even get the box off the sander at first. I had to pull so hard I was scared of breaking it. So for anyone else struggling with that first step - you're pulling/waggling it straight back from the sander body. The instructions say 'pull down!' Your screwdriver tip really helped too. Not a cat in hell's chance of opening the filter box otherwise. So thanks so much for your help.
Thank you for this. I wonder who works at Bosch - even getting the battery out is a struggle for me because my hands aren't big and strong. The whole point of power tools should be to reduce the strength and effort needed. Thanks again.
Si lo abres por el lado opuesto, tirando del centro con la uña, se abre sin mucho esfuerzo. Yo lo probé y va muy bien. Lo abrí varias veces. Espero que os sirva.
la he estrenado hoy y me ha costado tanto abrirla que ha saltado por el aire desparramando todo el polvo. Mal invento la verdad. Una cuestión te refieres a abril las cuñas laterales de la tapa negra con forma de triángulo. Gracias
I could never get it off so was emptying it through the hole... incredibly inefficient. Took a screwdriver to it tonight after seeing this video. It's so difficult to get off that I did cause a tiny bit of damage to the plastic on the rim with the blade, but the cover now comes off much more easily without the need for the screwdriver. A silly design, which is such a shame - the sander itself is excellent.
Yeah my tools get beat up a bit eventually anyway so a scuff here and there on a utility item just shows it gets used. My Makita stackable cases are the worse since the clips jam I’ve literally smashed them open with anything to hand. Now I’m thinking sander to sand the clips down hah
Terrible. So hard to open and finally all the dust spreaded out 😡. Thought i was the only one with problems. I was wrong, it is a real inconvenience to buy this model.
Thanks for that. It really helped, but I still couldn't get the tab area to prise open even with a flat blade mini screwdriver. ( I wonder how many injuries have been caused doing that? Not your fault.... it's an obvious thing to try. But continuing with the little screwdriver I attempted to prise open the black wings at the other end of the box and that worked much more easily, even though I was nervous of breaking it. But as you say the materials are tough enough to take it. But what a totally rubbish user- unfriendly design this is!! In other ways a nice little bit of kit, but this aspect is awful. I would never choose again and would be wary of anything designed by Bosch. Terrible.

Glad I could help someone. Literally the only reason I made any of these older videos.
And yeah I know what you mean about detaching it
Thanks, just had the same thing going on
SAME

Same here. Thanks
Excellent instruction, been struggling with this for ages, thank you so much
You're welcome. It seems like a lifetime ago I did the original unbox
Well from this 65 year old woman your instruction made my life a hell of a lot easier, I am just so grateful for your no nonsense video
Thank you, just bought the thing and I have to find a way to take off the box of the machine in the first place. Have to turn green first, I guess
Thank you. Filter now removed. Cleaned and put back. (I had already thrown away the manual 😊).

Thank you, you’re a lifesaver!
Thanks. Easy when you’re told how!

After the first time it is better, and ok with nails. Sometimes the first time is too much

I'm lucky my screwdriver didn't take off my finger. Terrible design, if they didn't want you to open the filter they shouldn't have put the tab there.
Open other side is easier
That's how mine its ridiculous
Lol
