DUST COLLECTOR
Model 340 is supplied with a Dust Collector Assembly that is attached to
the sander as outlined below. An accessory hose assembly, is available to
connect the sander to a remote vacuum system.
Do not operate the sander without (A) the dust collector
installed, or (B) an appropriate vacuum system attached. Dust could be
blown into your eyes and the level of dust in the atmosphere would be
greatly increased.

onto the nozzle, (B) Fig. 12.
2. Periodically remove the dust container (A) Fig. 13, from its mounting
