Bosch 1293d User Manual

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
“ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a
periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.

Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.

Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.  For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted. 

When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may
occur if sander is plugged in while changing
an accessory. 

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.

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.

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.

Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids

entering the motor housing is an electrical
shock hazard. 

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. 

• 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.
