ATTACHING PSA “STICK-ON”
SANDING SHEETS
Your sander can also be used with PSA-
backed “stick-on” sanding sheets (sandpa-
per), which have pressure sensitive adhesive.
1. Peel protective sheet from the back of PSA
sheet.
2. Align PSA sheet with backing pad and
press firmly in place.
Notes:
• Make sure that clamp levers are latched,
even when PSA sanding sheets are used.
• Remove PSA sheets soon after completing
each sanding operation in order to prevent
the adhesive from creating a hardened
bond with the backing pad.
REMOVING PSA SANDING SHEETS
To remove, lift an edge of sheet with your fin-
gernail and peel it off the backing pad.
Note: If PSA sheet is accidentally left on the
pad and has cooled down, the best way to re-
move it is to sand for three to five minutes to
soften the adhesive backing.
MICROFILTER DUST CANISTER — The in-
tegral dust extraction system collects sanding
dust in canister supplied with your sander. For
maximum efficiency, the dust canister should
be emptied frequently during operation.
Your tool is equipped
with a dust canister,
empty it frequently, after completion of
sanding and before storing the sander. Be
extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in
fine particle form may be explosive. Do not
throw sanding dust on an open fire. Combus-
tion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, poly-
urethane, oil or water with dust particles can
occur if there is a static discharge, spark intro-
duced in the box, or excessive heat. Do not
mix collected dust with paint or varnish, or use
it to absorb or dry liquid chemicals.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING
DUST CANISTER
To remove dust canister: rotate dust canister
2
while pulling it away from the tool (Fig. 6).
To install dust canister: align dust port
14 with
hole in canister
2 and push canister onto tool
until it locks into place (Fig. 7).
CLEANING AND EMPTYING
THE DUST CANISTER
The dust canister is transparent which will
allow you to easily see when empting and
cleaning is required.
To empty the dust canister: screw off and
remove microfilter
3 from the dust canister 2
(Fig. 8).
Empty dust canister
2. It is recommended to
loosen dust from the microfilter
3 by gently
striking it against a solid surface (Fig. 9).
Knock excess dust out of the microfilter, or re-
move 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 ef-
ficiency.
