OPERATION

USING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

The dust bag assembly 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.

TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

See Figure 6.

Follow these directions to attach the dust bag assembly.

■Unplug the sander.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

■Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower ex- haust on the sander using a slight twisting motion.

TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

See Figure 6 and 7.

For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage.

WARNING:

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self- ignite in your sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty your dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

Follow these directions to empty the dust bag assembly.
