ATTACHING VAC HOSE TO THE DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM (See Fig. 5)
When sanding for extended periods of time, you can easily attach your sander
to a vac hose and wet/dry vac (sold separately).
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Remove dust bag assembly from the vac adapter
(see page 14, Fig. 4a and 4b).
3. Connect vac adapter with dual dust ports to dust exhaust hole
of sander (see Fig. 5).
4. Attach either a 1

-in vac hose
onto the vac adapter’s dual dust ports
( see Fig. 5a and 5b).
5. Connect hose to wet / dry vac. Turn
vac on while operating sander.
NOTE: For more efficient operation, we recommend that you empty the dust
bag when it is no more than half full. This will allow the air to flow through the
bag better. ALWAYS empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly when you’ve
finished sanding and before you store the sander.
WARNING:
Empty dust bag before storage to help prevent possible fire
hazard, especially when resin coating or linseed oil finishes have been sanded.
