Dust Extraction (Fig. A, J)

WARNING: Since woodworking with a sander produces
dust, always install a dust bag designed in compliance
with the applicable directives regarding dust emission.

WARNING: Do not use a dust bag or vacuum extractor
without proper spark protection when sanding metal.
Your sander has a removable dust chute
either the supplied dust bag 4
to be connected. The built‑in outlet utilizes the D
AirLock connection making it compatible with the D
dust extractor.
To Attach the Dust Bag
1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar
dust port as shown in Figure J.

2. Turn the collar clockwise to lock the dust bag
To Empty the Dust Bag
nOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.
For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector when it is
about one third full.
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar
to unlock the dust bag .

2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently shake or tap
the dust bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port and lock into
place by turning the dust bag collar clockwise.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the
bag. This will not affect sanding performance but will reduce
the sander's dust collection efficiency. To restore your sander's
dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag
when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the waste bin
or dust receptacle.

CAUTION: Never operate this sander unless a dust
collector is in place. Sanding dust exhaust may create a
breathing hazard.
Operating the Sander (Fig. I)
NOTICE: These sanders are not to be used in
drywall applications.
NOTICE: Avoid overloading your sander. Overloading
will result in a considerable reduction in speed and finish
quality of your work. The unit may also become hot. In
this event, run sander at a no load condition for a minute
or two.
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Fig. I and turn it on.
Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes along the surface
being sanded, letting the sander do the work.
Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows the
removal rate and produces an inferior quality surface. Be sure
to check your work often, this sander is capable of removing
material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the
grain or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. To produce
the best finish possible, start with coarse grit sandpaper and

change gradually to finer and finer paper. Vacuum and wipe
surface with a tack cloth between grit steps. Your sander is
designed to sand into small or confined areas. Its small size and
light weight make it ideal for overhead work.
The rate at which the dust collection bag fills up will vary with
the type of material being sanded and the coarseness of the
sandpaper. For best results, empty the bag frequently. When
sanding painted surfaces, (see the following for additional
precautions when sanding paint) you may find that the
sandpaper loads up and clogs with paint. A heat gun will work
much better to remove paint before sanding. FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN HEAT GUN INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the
difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest
danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following
precautions when sanding any paint:
1. PERsOnaL saFETY
‑ No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all
clean up is completed.
‑ A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced
daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
See your local hardware store for the proper EN 149 ‑
AS/NZS 1716‑approved dust mask.
‑ NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
2. EnVIROnMEnTaL saFETY
‑ Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
‑
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
‑ Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the work area.
3. cLEanInG anD DIsPOsaL
‑ All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
‑ Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick‑up procedures.
During clean up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate work area.
