WARNING:
Sanding produces a lot of dust that could be harmful to your health. Always operate using
a dust collection system and approved face mask to minimize the risk of lung damage from dust inhala-
tion. DO NOT operate the drum sander without an adequate dust collection system.
1. Install the dust port onto the drum cover.
2. Fit a 4-inch dust hose (not included) over the dust port and
secure it in place with a hose clamp (not included). A tight fit is
necessary for proper dust collection performance.
3. Connect the dust hose to your dust-collection system of choice.
NOTE:
The dust port on your sander is compatible with the WEN
28200 10 ft. dust hose and the WEN 28221 20 ft. dust hose, avail-
able at wenproducts.com.

SANDPAPER INSTALLATION
SANDPAPER GRIT SIZE
Your drum sander is installed with an 80-grit sandpaper. The grit size of sandpaper determines the finish of the
surface. The lower the grit number, the coarser the sandpaper and the rougher the sanded surface. The higher the
grit number, the finer the sandpaper and the smoother the sanded surface. Typically, begin sanding with a coarse
grit sandpaper and progressively work through finer grits until the desired finish or thickness is achieved.
Experiment with different sanding grits on a scrap workpiece to determine the result of the sanded surface. Refer to
the chart below for the characteristics and uses associated with different sandpaper girt sizes.
