ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

The sander should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making ad- justments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause se- rious injury.

Attaching the Dust Bag

The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust bag during sanding. Follow these steps to attach the dust bag.

1.Unplug the sander.

2.Using a slight twisting motion as shown in figure 4, firmly slide dust bag assembly in blower exhaust on sander.

You can easily attach the dust collection system of your sander to a vacuum.

2.Remove the dust bag from the sander.

3.Attach vacuum hose to blower exhaust as shown in figure 5.

Note: Vacuum hose fits inside blower exhaust.

4.Connect sander and vacuum to power supply.

WARNING:

When sander is not connected to vacuum, always reinstall dust bag assembly back onto sander. Fail- ure to do so could cause sanding dust or foreign objects to be thrown into your face or eyes which could result in possible serious injury.
