CLEANING THE DUST BAG
Remove the dust bag assembly (1) from the
dust port by rotating it COUNTER CLOCKWISE
approximately 15° and pulling it out of the dust
port (Fig. 5). Carefully shake the dust bag
assembly with the end cap opening (2) pointing
downward to remove the sanding dust. Reinstall
the dust bag assembly as noted in Fig 4.
SANDING DISC SELECTION
Make sure you select the correct size and style
of sanding disc for your sander. The correct disc
will:
Have a diameter of 5"
Have a row of eight 3/8" holes that match
the hole pattern in the sander base
Have a backing for use with the hook &
loop disc attachment system.
Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper
is extremely important in achieving a high
quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon
carbide and other synthetic abrasives are best
for power sanding. Natural abrasives such as
flint and garnet are too soft for economical
use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove most
material. Fine grit will produce the best finish in
all sanding operations. The condition of the
surface to be sanded will determine which grit
will do the best job.
NOTE: Where the sanding disc grits are shown
numerically, higher numbers indicate finer grit
and lower numbers indicate coarser grit.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit
and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium
grit may then be used to remove scratches left
by the coarser grit. Fine grit should be used for
finishing the surface. Always continue sanding
with each grit until the surface is uniform.
SANDING
Clamp or otherwise secure your workpiece to
prevent it from moving under the sander while
being sanded. Secure the workpiece in a vice if
possible.
WARNING:
Any unsecured workpiece
could be thrown toward the operator causing
injury.
