ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
CLEANING THE DUST BAG
Remove the dust bag assembly (1) from the
dust port by rotating it COUNTERCLOCKWISE
approximately 15° and pulling it out of the
dust port (Fig. 5). Carefully shake the dust bag
assembly with the end cap opening (2) pointing
downward to remove the sanding dust. Reinstall
the dust bag assembly as noted in Fig 4.
SANDING DISC SELECTION
Make sure you select the correct size and style of
sanding disc for your sander. The correct disc will:
•
Have a diameter of 5"
•
Have a row of eight 3/8" holes that match the
hole pattern in the sander base
•
Have a backing for use with the hook & loop
disc attachment system.
Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper
is extremely important in achieving a high-quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide
and other synthetic abrasives are best for power
sanding. Natural abrasives such as flint and
garnet are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove most material.
Fine grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be
sanded will determine which grit will do the
best job.
NOTE:
Where the sanding disc grits are shown
numerically, higher numbers indicate finer grit
and lower numbers indicate coarser grit.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit
and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium
grit may then be used to remove scratches left
by the coarser grit. Fine grit should be used for
finishing the surface. Always continue sanding
with each grit until the surface is uniform.
