See Figures 3 - 4.

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 sand-
ing 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
(10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or
leave a sander without totally emptying its dust
bag. Also follow the recommendations of the
coatings manufacturers.
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.
A
WARNING: When sander is not connected to
vacuum, always install dust bag back on sander.
Failure to do so could cause sanding dust or foreign
objects to be thrown into the face or eyes which
could result in possible serious injury.
A
WARNING: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
when operating sander. They could get caught in
moving parts causing serious injury. Keep head away
from sander and sanding area. Hair could be drawn
into sander causing serious injury.
