seLeCtiNG sANDiNG DisCs
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is an
extremely important step 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 use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
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 job. 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 and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
WArNiNG:
If your sanding job becomes particularly dusty or if you
have a breathing condition, wear a dust mask or respira-
tor to prevent damage to your health.

See Figure 2, page 12.
Note: Use only 5 in. hook-and-loop sanding discs which
can be found at local home centers and hardware stores.
 Unplug the sander.
 Align the holes in the hook-and-loop sanding disc with
the holes in the backing pad.
Note: Line up the holes in the sanding disc with the
holes in the backing pad in order for the dustless feature
to function properly.
 Press the fuzzy side of the sanding disc against the
backing pad as firmly as possible.
 You can reuse hook-and-loop type sanding discs for the
life of the sanding abrasive. We recommend that you
clean the backing pad occasionally by brushing it lightly
with a small brush for best adhesion.

WArNiNG:
Do not use the dust bag when sanding metal. Using the
dust bag when sanding metal creates a fire hazard, which
could damage the tool and lead to serious personal injury.
The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system
for the sander. It can be installed by slipping the bag over
the dust exhaust with a twisting motion. Sanding dust is
drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc to collect in
the dust bag during sanding operation.
Note: For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when
no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through
the bag better.
WArNiNG:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite
in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To
reduce the risk of fire, always empty the dust bag fre-
quently while sanding. Never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust bag (see Cleaning
Dust Bag Assembly in the Maintenance section of this
manual). Also follow the recommendations of the coat-
ings manufacturers.
