Machine Set-up
7. This sanding machine is designed to be operated
with a remote vacuum dust collection system or with the
included dust bag. Follow the procedures below:
Preparing Remote Vacuum Dust Collection Systems
To prepare the machine for remote vacuum dust collection
systems that have a 2” hose end, follow this procedure:
1. Install 2” hose end (figure 9, A) directly over the
exhaust tube (figure 9, B).
2. The exhaust tube can be rotated for optimum conve-
nience.
To prepare the machine for remote vacuum dust collection
systems that have a 1 ½” hose end, follow this procedure:
1. Install the 2” x 1½” hose end adaptor (Part No.
30563A) (figure 9, C) over the exhaust tube (figure 9,
B).
2. Insert 1 ½” hose end (figure 9, D) into the adaptor
(figure 9, C).
NOTE: Start the remote vacuum collection system
before operation.
Preparing to use the included dust bag
To prepare the machine for use with the included dust
bag, follow this procedure:
1. Install the dust bag by pressing the end onto the ex-
haust tube until the ring locks into the groove (figure
10). This is best done by pressing on the back of the
bag opening with the palm of your hand.
2. The exhaust tube can be rotated for optimum conve-
nience.
3. To remove the dust bag from the exhaust tube, pry
up the end of the bag opening to partially release the
internal rib from the groove, then pull.
4. To empty the dust bag, unzip the disposal flap and
force contents out by inverting the bag.
NOTE: For best results, empty frequently. Follow all
warnings posted in this manual and on the dust bag.
