2. Remove the cap from the
end of the canister (9)
to access the internal bag

replace or clean the bag.
The bag can be washed.

Dust extraction adapter
The SA146 features a dust extraction port (7) and dust
extraction adapter (8) for easy connection to a dust
extraction unit.
1. Connect the dust
extraction adapter to the
dust extraction port at the
back of the sander.
2. Attach a dust extraction
unit (not supplied) to the
dust extraction adapter.
This will help to efficiently
remove dust from the
workpiece and results in a
cleaner and safer working environment.
Maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off
and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at
all times.
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has
entered the grills near the motor and around the
on/off switch. Use a soft brush to remove any
accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect
your eyes whilst cleaning.
If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
General Inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
