Woodstock D3736 owner manual Using the Sander, Attaching Dust Bag

Model D3736 Palm Finishing Sander

Tip: Try using the sandpaper that came with your sander as a template for cutting holes in new 1⁄4 sheets to match those on the bottom of the sander—so the dust bag can collect dust particles. Use a paper punch to cut the holes; or mark the holes, score them with a sharp knife, and cut them out.

Using the Sander

Determine the appropriate grit size for your project and sand the work evenly in the same direction as the grain of the wood. Always keep the sander moving so the finish of your work stays consistent. If the sander stays in one place too long, then it may produce a depression in the wood that will compromise your finish.

Attaching Dust Bag

Using the dust bag will help keep your work area clean and reduce dust particle emission.

To install the dust bag, do these steps:

1.Insert the dust bag spout into the dust port and make sure it fits snugly.

2.When the dust bag is half full, remove the dust bag from the sander and empty it into a trash receptacle by gently tapping on the side of the bag.

Always wear a respirator or dust mask and safety glasses when emptying the dust bag.

Sanding across the grain of the wood may be necessary in some cases to remove rough defects. This should be done with caution, however, because it can produce cross-grain scratching that will require further sanding to remove.

Electrical shock hazard! Only use sander for dry sanding. Never use sander for wet sanding!

Change sheets as soon as the grit becomes dull. And, never apply excessive force while sanding. Your sander and paper will last longer if you let them do the work.
