Machine Set-Up
To set-up your machine, follow this procedure:
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine and read all danger,
warning and caution statements. Make sure all operators of this
machine have read this Owner's Manual. If they cannot read this
manual, have the manual explained fully before allowing anyone
to operate the sander.

compatible with the plug. The receptacle must be grounded and
must be fused (see nameplate for electrical requirements) to
avoid an electrical hazard.

on the dust bag and draw tight over the fl are on the elbow. Wrap
the string around the elbow and secure.

Do not connect the electrical cord at this time.
5. Pull the draw latch forward to release the access door to gain
entry to the sanding chamber.
