INSTALLATION
1. Install the special drywall dust bag into your vacuum cleaner, following the
instructions supplied with the vacuum cleaner. If this dust bag does not fit your
vacuum cleaner correctly, purchase and install a suitable filter bag that is rated
for drywall dust.
CAUTION: Failure to use a dust bag rated for drywall dust will increase
the level of airborne dust particles in the work area. Continued and
prolonged exposure to high concentrations of airborne dust may affect
your respiratory system function.
2. Connect the vacuum hose to the Drywall Sander. Open the Drywall
Sander’s hose connector by turning the large nut (A) Fig. 2 counterclockwise
a few turns. Push the vacuum hose swivel connector (B) Fig. 2 into the Drywall
Sander connector and seat firmly. Turn the large nut clockwise to tighten the
connector.
3. Install the three “hook & loop” type straps to prevent tangling of the
Sander cord and the vacuum hose. Lay the cord and the vacuum hose out
parallel to each other. Place a strap approximately two feet from each end and
place the third strap halfway between the other two. Wrap the long end of
each strap around the vacuum hose and close. Wrap the short end of each
strap around the cord and close (Fig. 3).
4. Connect the vacuum hose to your vacuum cleaner. Use the 1-1/4" to 2-
1/2" adapter if necessary. If your vacuum cleaner requires a special connector
(something other than the standard 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" connectors supplied with
the Drywall Sander), contact your vacuum cleaner supplier for the proper
adapter.
