CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE
DUST CANISTER
Before opening the dust canister lid, it is
recommended to loosen dust from the
microfilter dust canister by gently striking it
against a solid surface (Fig. 8).
To empty canister, hold canister and maintain
a firm grip. Firmly push upward on tab on
corner of lid, and remove from canister (Fig. 9).
Knock excess dust out of the microfilter, or
remove dust with your fingers or a soft brush.
You may notice that all the dust may not come
out of the canister. This will not affect sanding
performance but will reduce dust collection
efficiency.

FIG. 10
NOTE: Do not wash the micro filter with soap
and water. Dust may become more firmly
lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust
collection, and damage the micro filter.
When the canister is removed from the tool, an
(optional) vacuum hose accessory can be
attached to the dust port. To use this feature,
attach vacuum hose (optional accessory) to
dust port, then connect opposite end of the
vacuum hose to a shop vacuum cleaner. A
vacuum hose adapter is included for
connection of this tool to a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2"
vacuum hose (Fig. 10).
