Bosch 1293D - 1/2 Sheet Finishing Sander Operating/Safety Instructions Manual page 4

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.
