CAUTION:
When sanding metal, the dust box or dust extraction system should not be used, as there
may be a risk of fire due to flying sparks.
NOTE:
Check and empty dust box often, before it gets full.
DUST COLLECTION
The dust produced by sanding can be hazardous to your health. Always wear a dust mask and operate
the tool in a well-ventilated area. This sander comes with a dust port adapter and dust collection box.
Before operating the sander, make sure to install the dust box, or connect the tool to a suitable dust
extraction system.
DUST EXTRACTION WITH DUST BOX
INSTALLING DUST BOX
• Push dust box onto the dust port on the side (Fig. 3 - 12).
REMOVING AND EMPTYING DUST BOX
• Turn off and unplug sander, then pull the dust box off. Tap it over
garbage can to empty dust box.
WARNING:
Do not allow the workpiece to overheat. This can cause a fire if the wood dust
is mixed with other chemicals, paint residues or metal residues. Always empty the dust box and
vacuum used before leaving the work station.

7. To adjust the sanding belt, turn the belt tracking
adjustment screw (Fig. 2 - 10) with a Phillips-
head screwdriver (not included) either clockwise
or counterclockwise until the sanding belt runs
down the center. Turning the screw clockwise will
cause the belt to track more to the left (as viewed
from the bottom of the sander); turning the screw
counterclockwise will cause it to track more to the
right. Run the sander for a short period of time and
adjust the tracking until the sanding belt is running
in the center of the roller. Make sure the belt does
not rub against the casing of the sander.
