When sanding for an extended period of time, you can easily
attach the dust collection system of the sander to a vacuum.
to attach:
 Unplug the sander.
 Remove dust bag from sander.
 Attach vacuum hose to dust exhaust.
Note: Vacuum hose fits inside dust exhaust.
 Connect sander and vacuum to power supply.
WArNiNG:
When sander is not connected to vacuum, always install
dust bag back on sander. Failure to do so could cause
sanding dust or foreign objects to be thrown into your
face or eyes, which could result in possible serious injury.
WArNiNG:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating
sander. They could get caught in moving parts causing
serious injury. Keep head away from sander and sanding
area. Hair could be drawn into sander causing serious
injury.
WArNiNG:
Before connecting the sander to power supply source,
always check to be sure the switch is in the oFF position.
Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of the
sander resulting in possible serious injury.
CAutioN:
Be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.

Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from moving
under the sander.
WArNiNG:
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator
causing injury.
Place sander on workpiece so that all of sanding disc surface
is in contact with workpiece. Start the sander and move it
slowly over workpiece making successive passes in parallel
lines, circles, or crosswise movements. Upon completion of
sanding operation, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc
comes to a complete stop before removing from workpiece.
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pres-
sure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the work. Apply-
ing additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears
sanding disc, and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive
pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage
from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any
finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat.
Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander's
rapid action may remove too much material, making the
surface uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the mo-
tor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc
comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece.
Remove your hand from vent area, remove sanding disc,
then with your hand removed from vent area, turn sander
on and run it free without a load to cool motor.
Flush sanding can be performed with the sander. The front
edge of the sander allows flush sanding. Upon completion of
sanding operation, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc
comes to a complete stop before removing from workpiece.
CAutioN:
To ensure proper brake operation after extended use,
periodically check its operation by removing the sand-
ing disc and running the sander without load (off the
workpiece). The backing pad should not take longer than
6 seconds to stop. If it takes longer than 6 seconds to
stop, then brake should be replaced.
Note: The brake is available and can be purchased through
Replacement Parts at your nearest PowerStroke service
center.
