1.5Amp Detail Sander
WARNING: Considering
that old paint may well
be toxic and will have
to be treated with the
respect due any toxic
material both on the
part of the tool opera-
tor and environment.
Wear appropriate
breathing protection
and dispose carefully of
dust or chips left after
sanding.
CONTROL THE DUST IN
THE WORKPLACE
For dust collection to work, the dust extraction holes must be aligned
properly between the sanding sheets and sanding pad. Using the dust
extraction feature of the sander helps prevent the sandpaper from loading
quickly with sawdust.
USING DUST EXTRACTION PORT
Your sander is equipped with a 1-1/4“ round dust port.
You can use the dust bag that comes with the unit,
or you can connect directly to a vacuum hose using
adapter (included).
