To open the dust cover, push in on the knob (C, Figure 5) and lift. The latch can be adjusted using the screw behind it.
Dust Collection
Dust collection is mandatory for a safe work environment and extended abrasive life. The 22- 44 Plus is equipped with a 4” dust collection port at the top of the dust cover. It is designed to be used with standard 4” dust collection hose connected to a high volume dust collector (minimum 500 CFM), as shown in Figure 7.

Installing Abrasives
An
Proper attachment of the abrasive strip to the drum is critical to achieving top performance from your drum sander. Abrasive strips do not have to be
NOTE: When using Ready To WrapTM abrasives, not all of the steps below are necessary. You can use the original abrasive strip mounted to the drum as a template for cutting your own strips.
1.Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll as shown in Figure 8. Because the tapered end should use all of the left (outboard) slot width, its end must be trimmed back as shown.
2.Raise the fastener lever (D, Figure 9) on the outboard end of drum, and insert the tapered end of the abrasive (E, Figure 9) so that it uses most of the width of the slot. Release the fastener lever to securely hold the strip end to the fastener.
3.Begin wrapping the strip around the drum. The tapered edge of the strip end should follow the edge of the drum.
4.Continue to wrap the abrasive in a spiral fashion by rotating the drum with one hand and guiding the strip with the other (Figure 10).
