Porter-Cable N020227 instruction manual Installation, To Start and Stop the Drywall Sander

INSTALLATION

1.Install the special drywall dust bag into your vacuum cleaner, following the instructions supplied with the vacuum cleaner. If this dust bag does not fit your vacuum cleaner correctly, purchase and install a suitable filter bag that is rated for drywall dust.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, use a dust bag rated for drywall dust. Failure to do so will increase the level of airborne dust particles in the work area. Continued and prolonged exposure to high concentrations of airborne dust may affect your respiratory system function.

2.Connect the vacuum hose to the Drywall Sander. Open the hose connector by turning the large nut (A) Fig. 2 counterclockwise a few turns. Push the vacuum hose swivel connector (B) Fig. 2 into the connector and seat firmly. Turn the large nut clockwise to tighten the connector.

3.Connect the vacuum hose to your vacuum cleaner. Use the 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) to 2-1/2" (6.4 cm) adapter if necessary. If your vacuum cleaner requires a special connector (something other than the standard 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) to 2-1/2" (6.4 cm) connectors supplied with the Drywall Sander), contact your vacuum cleaner supplier for the proper adapter.

TO START AND STOP THE DRYWALL SANDER
