OPERATION

TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

See Figure 6.

nUnplug the sander.

nSlide the dust bag assembly onto the blower exhaust on the sander using a slight twisting motion.

TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

See Figures 6 - 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 the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To re- duce the risk of fire always empty the 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.

nUnplug the sander.

nRemove the dust bag assembly from the sander.

nRemove the dust bag from the frame.

nShake out the dust.

nReplace the dust bag on the frame.

nReplace the dust bag assembly on the sander.

ATTACHING THE SANDER TO A VACUUM

See Figure 8.

When sanding for an extended period of time, you can easily attach the dust collection system of the sander to a vacuum.

nUnplug the sander.

nRemove the dust bag assembly from the sander.

nAttach the vacuum hose to the dust exhaust on the sander.

NOTE: The vacuum hose fits inside the dust exhaust. The figure illustrates a standard 1-1/4 in. vacuum connection.

nConnect the sander and vacuum to a power supply.

WARNING:

When sander is not connected to vacuum, always install dust bag back on sander. Failure to do so could cause sanding dust or foreign objects to be thrown into the face or eyes which could result in possible serious injury.
