WARNING:
Empty dust bag before storage to help prevent possible fire
hazard, especially when resin coating or linseed oil finishes have been sanded.

ATTACHING THE VAC HOSE ADAPTER (See Fig. 6)
Your sander includes a vac hose adapter that easily attaches to the sander.
The adapter allows you to hook your sander up to your wet/dry vac (sold separately).
NOTE:
For more efficient operation, we recommend that you empty the dust
bag when
it is no more than half full. This will allow the air to flow through the bag better.
ALWAYS
empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly when you've finished sanding and before you
store the sander.
