Turn the electronic speed control dial to the required level. The
correct setting, however, is a matter of experience.
Generally, harder materials require a higher setting.
Dust Extraction (Fig. C, D)

WARNING: Since woodworking with a sander produces
dust, always install a dust bag designed in compliance
with the applicable directives regarding dust emission.

WARNING: Do not use a dust bag or vacuum extractor
without proper spark protection when sanding metal.
Your sander has two dust extraction methods: a built-in
outlet 3 which allows either the supplied dust bag
vacuum system to be connected; and a dust skirt (

To Attach the Dust Bag
1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar
outlet 3 as shown in Figure C.
2. Turn the collar clockwise to lock the dust bag

To Empty the Dust Bag
nOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.
For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector when it is
about one third full.
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar
unlock the dust bag 4 .
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 waste bin
or dust receptacle.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the
trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.

WARNING: .
• Make sure all materials to be sanded are well secured.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the workpiece.
Excessive pressure does not improve the sanding
effect, but only results in an increased load on the
machine and causes the abrasive to tear.
• Avoid overloading.
WARNING: Do not sand magnesium.
NOTICE: If you wrap the cord around the tool when
you store it, leave a generous loop of cord such that the
strain relief ( 7 , Fig. A) does not bend. This helps prevent
premature cord failure.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. E)

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.
