OPERATION

ATTACHING hook-and-loop SANDING DISCS

See Figure 2.

NOTE: Use only 5 in. hook-and-loop sanding discs which can be found at local home centers and hardware stores.

Unplug the sander.

Align the holes in the hook-and-loop sanding disc with the holes in the backing pad.

NOTE: Line up the holes in the sanding disc with the holes in the backing pad in order for the dustless feature to function properly.

Press the fuzzy side of the sanding disc against the back- ing pad as firmly as possible.

NOTE: You can reuse hook-and-loop type sanding discs for the life of the sanding abrasive. We recommend that you clean the backing pad occasionally by brushing it lightly with a small brush for best adhesion.

TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF

See Figure 3.

To turn the sander on: Slide the switch to the left ( l ).

To turn the sander off: Slide the switch to the right ( O ).

DUSTLESS SANDING

WARNING:

Do not use the dust bag when sanding metal. Using the dust bag when sanding metal creates a fire hazard, which could damage the tool and lead to serious per- sonal injury.

The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc to collect in the dust bag during sanding operation.

NOTE: For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better.
