DSB SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
• After a sanding project is finished, the DSB System should be cleared of sanding dust buildup with compressed air before storage.
• Utilizing an air gun, blow out the Primary Adapter Regulator, 15’ Hose and Flow Control Valve. Verify there is no sanding dust buildup stuck in
these components.
• Blow out the Dustless Sanding Block through the holes in the Vacuum Plate, then through the Hose Fitting.
• If dust buildup persists in any of these components - utilize a cleaning brush to break it free.
Failure to clear sanding dust buildup from the components before storage may result in hardened sanding dust buildup impeding
airflow and block performance. Always clear the components before storage.

Hose end worn out
With a sharp blade, cut off the vacuum hose end approximately 1” from the
end. Make sure the cut is clean and square with the hose for best grip on
the Hose Fitting.
DSB VACUUM HOSE EXTENSION
• Optionally, an additional 15’ Vacuum Hose (#65496, not included) may be added between the Flow Control Valve and Dustless Sanding Block with a
1/2” outside diameter coupler (not included). Couplers are commonly available from home improvement or automotive centers.
• This will double the length of the vacuum hose and allows you to place your shop vacuum in a more remote location to reduce noise in the work area.
