Dust Collection (Fig. 1)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. Be sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, NEVER
operate this tool with perforated paper unless the dust collection
system is in place.
WARNING: Empty dust collection system frequently, especially
when sanding resin-coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish,
shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles according to the finish
manufacturer’s guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting
metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the premises daily.
The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may self ignite and
cause fire.
Attach vacuum hose to the dust port (D).
Using the Sander (Fig. 7)
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure 7. Hold the tool
firmly and turn it on. Apply the sanding disc to the workpiece and
apply slight pressure only. Be sure to check your work often. This
sander is capable of removing material rapidly, especially with coarse
paper.
To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit sandpaper
and change gradually to finer and finer paper. Vacuum and wipe the
surface with a tack cloth between grit steps.
When sanding painted surfaces (see Additional Safety Rules for
Paint Removal), you may find that the sandpaper clogs with paint.
A heat gun will work much better to remove paint before sanding.
Follow all the safety instructions in the heat gun instruction manual.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air
at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Periodically clean hook and loop pad.
