To Attach The Dust Bag; Maintenance - Craftsman CMCW222 Instruction Manual

English
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce
‑
tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
3. ClEAning AnD DisPOsAl
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
‑
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and
‑
disposed of along with any dust chips or other
removal debris. They should be placed in sealed
refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular
trash pick‑up procedures. During clean up, children
and pregnant women should be kept away from the
immediate work area.
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
‑
children should be washed thoroughly before being
used again.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. J)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main grip
Dust Collection (Fig. A, K)

WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding
surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.)
can self ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently
and strictly follow sander manual and coating
manufacturer's instructions
Your sander has a removable dust chute
either the supplied dust bag
be connected. The built‑in outlet utilizes the CRAFTSMAN
AirLock connection making it compatible with the
CRAFTSMAN dust extractor.

To Attach the Dust Bag

1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar
the removable dust chute
2. Turn the collar clockwise to lock the dust bag
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar counterclockwise to
unlock the dust bag.
2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently shake or
tap the dust bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the outlet and lock into
place by turning the dust bag collar clockwise.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from
the bag. This will not affect sanding performance but will
reduce the sander's dust collection efficiency. To restore your
sander's dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside
the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side
of the trash can or dust receptacle.

CAUTION: Never operate these tools unless the
dust collector is in place. Sanding dust exhaust may
create a breathing hazard.
Sander Operation (Fig. J)

WARNING: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
NOTICE: This sander is not to be used in
drywall applications.
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure J and turn
it on. Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface
being sanded, letting the sander do the work. Pushing down
on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal rate
and produces an inferior quality surface. Be sure to check
your work often, this sander is capable of removing material
rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
Your sander is designed to sand flush on three sides for
sanding in corners, and its small size and light weight make it
ideal for overhead work.

WARNING: Use extra caution when working overhead
and always wear approved eye protection.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the
grain or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. On the
final sanding steps, as discussed below, a better finish will
result if you sand only with the grain.

To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit
abrasive paper and change gradually to finer and finer paper.
A final sanding with a piece of well‑worn fine abrasive paper
will produce a professional‑looking finish that in many cases
will need no hand sanding at all. The rate at which the dust
collection bag will fill up will vary with the type of material
being sanded and the coarseness of the abrasive paper.
For best results, empty the bag frequently and check the
opening for clogging.
When sanding painted surfaces, you may find that the
abrasive paper loads up and clogs with paint. A heat gun
will work much better to remove paint before sanding.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN HEAT GUN
