Bosch Power Tools 1295D Sander User Manual


 
-8-
(Model 1295D & 1295DH)
Your random orbit sander uses hook-and-
loop backed accessories, which firmly grip
the pad when applied with moderate
pressure. To change the accessory, merely
peel off the old accessory, remove dust from
the pad if necessary, and press the new
accessory in place. Be sure to align the
sanding disc holes with the holes in the
backing pad to allow the dust extraction
system to function.
After considerable service the pad surface will
become worn, and the pad must be replaced
when it no longer offers a firm grip. If you are
experiencing premature wearout of the pad
facing, decrease the amount of pressure you
are applying during operation of the tool.
(Model 1295DP)
Your sander is equipped with PSA backed
accessories with pressure sensitive adhesive.
To change accessory, peel protective sheet
from the back of accessory. Align accessory
with backing pad and press firmly in place. To
remove, lift an edge of accessory with your
finger nail and peel it off the backing pad.
NOTE: Do not store tool with sanding disc on
pad, as sanding creates heat which increases
the adhesive bond. If the disc is left in place it
may become very difficult to remove.
DUST COLLECTION CANISTER
The integral dust extraction system collects
sanding dust in canister supplied with your
sander. For maximum efficiency, the dust
canister should be emptied frequently during
operation.
When the canister is removed from the tool an
(optional vacuum hose accessory) can be
attached to the dust port.
To use this feature, attach vacuum adapter
and vacuum hose (optional accessories) to
dust port, then connect opposite end of the
vacuum hose to a shop vacuum cleaner.
CLEANING AND EMPTYING
THE DUST CANISTER
To empty, pull canister off the adapter and
gently shake out canister. You may notice that
all the dust may not come out of the canister.
This will not affect sanding performance but
will reduce dust collection efficiency.
To thoroughly clean canister, use one of
two methods.
a. Vacuum the canister with a shop vacuum,
applying suction to the inside surface of the
canister.
b. Use dry compressed air. Direct the air from
outside of canister to blow dust out of the
canister pores.
To prevent personal injury. Wear protective
gloves and eye protection when using
compressed air.
NOTE: Do not wash the canister with soap
and water. Dust may become more firmly
lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust
collection.
Your sander was designed to sand in small or
confined areas. Its small size and light weight
makes it ideal for overhead work. The dust
canister rotates 360˚ for operator comfort and
work visibility.
You may grip the tool on top or around the
motor housing as shown, which was
contoured for that purpose.
