DUST
BOX
(Fig. 7)
_WARNING: Do not use the
dust box when sanding metal.
Using the dust box when sanding
metal creates a fire hazard, which
could damage the tool and lead to
serious personal injury.
Your sheet sander is supplied with
a dust box to help you keep the
working area clean. The dust box
is ideal for smaller jobs.
Rib
Groove
To install:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power source.
2. Align the rib on the dust-exhaust port with the groove in the dust box.
3. Slide the dust box onto the port as far as possible.
NOTICE- From time to time, clean the dust-exhaust port with a dry brush.
To remove:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power source.
2. Grip the dust box firmly and pull it out from the tool.
NOTICE: For longer periods of use, or on large pieces of work, it is advisable
to use a suitable vacuum cleaner. Attach an 1-1/4 in. wet/dry-vacuum hose to
the dust-exhaust port. It is advisable to also wear a suitable dust mask, as there
may be residual airborne dust particles in the area.
,_ WARNING: The dust that is produced while sanding can be detrimental
to health, flammable, or explosive. Suitable safety measures are required.
Examples: Some types of dust are known to cause cancer. Always wear a dust
mask, and use the proper dust collection method: dust box for small volume and
vacuum connection for large volume dust collection.
SELECTING THE RIGHT GRADE OF SANDPAPER
Different grades of sandpaper can be purchased from the store where you
purchased the tool. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the
optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job.
