DUST ExTRACTION

:
cauTIon:
Respiratory hazard.
Never
operate this tool
for wood sanding
unless
the dust canister is in place. Sanding dust
exhaust may create a breathing hazard.
warnInG:
Fire hazard.
Collected
sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
(polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite
in sander dust canister or elsewhere and
cause fire. To reduce risk, empty canister
frequently and strictly follow sander manual
and coating manufacturer’s instructions.
warnInG:
Fire hazard.
When
working on metal surfaces, do not use the
dust canister or a vacuum cleaner because
sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses
and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire,
do not use your sander to sand magnesium
surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
• The dust collection canister (4) should be
emptied after every 10 minutes of sanding.
• While holding the sander, grasp the dust
collection canister and pull it off of the
sander as shown in figure e.
• Hold the canister just inside a garbage
can to ensure dust is contained.
• Push up on tab (10) to separate the top of the
canister from the bottom as shown in figure e.
• Gently shake or tap the top and bottom of
the canister to empty.
• Reattach the top and bottom and firmly
push the canister back onto the sander.
HInTS for oPTIMuM uSe
• Do not place your hands over the
ventilation slots.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the
tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the
sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
• Always sand with the grain of the wood.
• When sanding new layers of paint before
applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when
removing layers of paint, start with a
coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with
a medium grit. In both cases, gradually
change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.
• When sanding on a vertical surface, hold
the back handle (2) for better grip and
control as shown in figure f.
