Bosch Power Tools 1293d manual Microfilter Dust Canister, Removing and Installing Dust Canister

MICROFILTER DUST 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.

!WARNING Your tool is equipped with a dust canister, empty it

frequently, after completion of sanding and before storing the sander. Be

extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Combustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles can occur if there is a static discharge, spark introduced in the box, or excessive heat.

CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE

DUST CANISTER

To empty canister, hold canister and maintain a firm grip (Fig. 7). Firmly push upward on tab on corner of lid, and remove from canister. Knock excess dust out of the microfilter, or remove dust with your fingers or a soft brush. 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.

NOTE: Do not wash the micro filter with soap and water. Dust may become more firmly lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust collection, and damage the micro filter.
