REMOVING PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE
(PSA) SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE
Do not store the sander with sandpaper installed. Heat
generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive ad-
hesive to flow and form a tight bond between the cushion
and sandpaper.
Removing the sandpaper soon after you have finished a
sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If
the sandpaper is left on the cushion for an extended pe-
riod of time after use, the adhesive will set up and cause
the sandpaper to become difficult to remove. It may also
tear when removing. When this situation occurs, it be-
comes difficult to clean the cushion for the next sheet of
sandpaper.
NOTE: If you forget to remove the sandpaper after a sand-
ing operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive
backing before attempting to remove sandpaper.
CLEANING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figure 9, page 12.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is
no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through
the bag better.

WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
:
WARNING
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
OPERATION
To empty the dust bag:
 Unplug the sander.
 Remove the dust bag assembly from the sander and
shake out dust.
 For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove
dust bag from the frame and shake out dust.
 Replace the dust bag over the frame, then reinstall on
the sander.
Collected sanding dust from sand ing surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in
the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To re-
duce the risk of fire, always empty the dust bag frequently
(10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a
sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow
the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

MAINTENANCE

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, com-
mutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using
this product for extended work on these types of materials.
However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is ex-
tremely important to clean the product using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a suf-
ficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
