CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE

DUST CANISTER

Before opening the dust canister lid, it is recommended to loosen dust from the microfilter dust canister by gently striking it against a solid surface (Fig. 8).

To empty canister, hold canister and maintain a firm grip. Firmly push upward on tab on corner of lid, and remove from canister (Fig. 9). 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.

ATTACHING VACUUM HOSE

When the canister is removed from the tool, an (optional) vacuum hose accessory can be attached to the dust port. To use this feature, attach vacuum hose (optional accessory) to dust port, then connect opposite end of the vacuum hose to a shop vacuum cleaner. A vacuum hose adapter is included for connection of this tool to a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" vacuum hose (Fig. 10).
