ATTACHING SANDER TO VACUUM
When sanding for an extended period of time, you can easily
attach the dust collection system of your sander to a vacuum.
TO ATTACH:
See Figure 5.
■ Unplug your sander.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ Remove dust bag from sander.
■ Attach vacuum hose to blower exhaust as shown in
Figure 5.
NOTE: Vacuum hose fits inside blower exhaust.
■ Connect sander and vacuum to power supply.
WARNING:
When sander is not connected to vacuum, always install
dust bag back on sander. Failure to do so could cause
sanding dust or foreign objects to be thrown into your face
or eyes which could result in possible serious injury.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool from
overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for
an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When working
outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor
use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
CAUTION:
Keep extension cords away from the sanding area and
position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, etc., during sanding.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.
