The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system
for the sander. It can be installed by slipping the bag over
the dust exhaust with a twisting motion. Sanding dust is
drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc to collect
in the dust bag during sanding operation.
NOTE: For more efficient operation, empty dust bag
when no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow
through the bag better.
A
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 (see Cleaning Dust Bag Assembly
in the Maintenance section of this manual). Also
follow the recommendations of the coatings manu-
factu rers.
ATTACHING SANDER TO VACUUM
See Figure 5.
When sanding for an extended period of time, you can
easily attach the dust collection system of the sander to a
vacuum.
To attach:
[] Unplug the sander.
[] Remove dust bag from sander.
[] Attach vacuum hose to dust exhaust.
NOTE: Vacuum hose fits inside dust exhaust.
[] Connect sander and vacuum to power supply.
,_, WARNING: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry

into sander causing serious injury.
