OPERATION
To install:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source.
2. Align the indicators on the vacuum
adaptor and the dust box.
3. Slide the dust box forward and push
it onto the adaptor. Rotate the box
clockwise to lock it in place (FIG. 3).
NOTICE: From time to time, clean the
vacuum adaptor with a dry brush. See the
maintenance section for instructions for
cleaning the dust box.
To remove:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source.
2. Grip the dust box firmly, rotate it
counterclockwise and pull it out from the
tool (FIG. 3).
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust
from sanding surface coatings such as
polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-
ignite in the sander dust box or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire,
always empty the dust box frequently while
sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust box. Also
follow the recommendations of the coat-
ings manufacturers.
ATTACHING THE SANDPAPER
WARNING:
Always inspect the
sandpaper before attaching. Do not use
the paper if it is torn or defective.
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the
sander could result in accidental starting,
causing possible serious personal injury.
2. Remove any dust or debris from the
platen.
3. The paper clamp levers are located on
each side of the sander and are locked
into the slots on the upper surface of the
platen.
Lift the two levers and disengage them
from the slots in the platen. This will
release the tension on the paper clamps
that hold the paper in position on the
underside of the platen (FIG. 4).
4. Insert the front end of the sandpaper
approximately 1/2 in. under the front
paper clamp.
5. Lift up on the lever that controls the front
paper clamp and lock it back into the slot
on the platen. This will securely clamp
the paper to the front of the platen.
6. Smooth out the sandpaper by pressing
it tightly against the bottom of the pad
(front to back).
