ASSEMBLY
WARNING
The tool should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is
not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded À
nish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and
other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as Å int and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material
and À ner grit will produce the best À nish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded
will determine which grit will do the job. 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 and À ner grit used for
À nishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.
WARNING
Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will
damage the cushion.

collection box assembly in the blower exhaust on the
sander.
