Machine Setup

To set-up your machine, follow this procedure:
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine and read all danger,
warning and caution statements. Make sure all operators
of this machine have read this Owner's Manual. If they
cannot read this manual, have the manual explained fully
before allowing anyone to operate the sander.
2. Locate the electrical source. The receptacle should
be compatible with the plug. The receptacle must be
grounded and must be fused (see nameplate for electrical
requirements) to avoid an electrical hazard
3. Clip the dust bag to the elbow. (See figure 9) Cross the
strings on the dust bag and draw tight over the flare on the
elbow. Wrap the string around the elbow and secure.
4. Wind the electrical cord through the cable arm.
(See figure 10) Keep the power cord out of path of
equipment. Do not connect the electrical cord at this time.
