GENERAL MAINTENANCE
CLEANING DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figures 8 - 9,
_!1_11= WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding
surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed
oil, etc., can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire,
always empty the dust bag frequently while sanding.
Never store or leave a sander without totally empty-
ing its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of
the coatings manufacturers.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
,_ WARNING" Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi-
cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which
may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to acceler-
ated wear and possible premature failure because the
fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bear-
ings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do
not recommend using this product for extended work on
these types of materials. However, if you do work with any
of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the
product using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when no
more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through
the bag better.
To empty the dust bag:
[] Unplug the sander.
[] Remove dust bag from sander.
[] Remove dust bag from frame, and shake out dust.
[] Replace dust bag over frame then install dust bag on
sander.
