USING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system
for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the
holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust bag
during sanding.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
Follow these directions to attach the dust bag assembly.
■
Unplug the sander.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
■
Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower ex-
haust on the sander using a slight twisting motion.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6 and 7.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it
is no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow
through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust
bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation
and before placing the sander in storage.
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coat-
ings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-
ignite in your sander dust bag or elsewhere and
cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty
your dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sand-
ing and never store or leave a sander without totally
emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommenda-
tions of the coatings manufacturers.
Follow these directions to empty the dust bag assembly.
