Use only specifi cally recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous. OPERATION Fig. 3 Attaching The Dust Bag The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding platen and collected in the dust bag during sanding. To attach the dust bag: 1. Unplug the sander. 2. Line up the “unlock” symbol on the dust bag with the arrow on the dust collection port and slide the bag assembly onto the port. To lock in place, rotate the bag until the arrow on the port aligns with the “lock” symbol on the bag. Attaching the Sander to a Vacuum You can easily attach the dust collection system of the sander to a vacuum. 1. Unplug the sander. 2. Remove the dust bag from the sander. 3. Attach vacuum hose to blower exhaust. NOTE: Smaller vacuum hoses fi t inside blower exhaust. Larger vacuum hoses fi t outside blower exhaust. 4. Connect sander and vacuum to power supply. Fig. 4 WARNING When sander is not connected to vacuum, always reinstall dust bag assembly back onto sander. Fail ure 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. Starting and Stopping the Tool To start the sander, switch ON/OFF Switch to ON. To stop sander, switch ON/OFF Switch to OFF. General Sanding with 1/4 Sheet Sanders When using sanders there are a few things to keep in mind: • Varying pressure applied to the sander will affect its speed. A light pressure is recommended for fi ne work, moderate pressure for rough work. Excessive pressure does not allow the pad to move enough. • Keep sanding pad fl at on the workpiece. Tipping the sander or using the edges of the pad may produce an uneven fi nish, and reduce pad life. • Keep sander moving in broad even strokes across the workpiece. Sanding in one spot too long can cause gouging and uneven results. 1. To prevent rough action due to starting under load, turn ON/OFF Switch ON before applying sander to workpiece. 2. Work in slow, overlapping strokes parallel to grain. Your Finishing Sander is designed for even weight distribution. Excessive pressure may damage workpiece and motor as well as cause premature sandpaper wear. 3. Repeat operation using successively fi ner grits of sandpaper until desired fi nish is obtained. Example: 60 Coarse, 100 Medium, 150 Fine. Removing Paint or Varnish 1. When removing several layers of paint or varnish, remove as much as possible with a paint solvent or varnish remover. 2. Scrape away the residue with a putty knife or other scraping tool and allow the surface to cool and dry before applying sander to the workpiece. To empty the dust bag: 1. Unplug the sander. 2. Remove the dust bag from the sander. 3. Shake out the dust. 4. Reattach the dust bag to the sander. Fig. 5 3. Select a coarse grit sandpaper disc to help prevent the sandpaper from clogging. 4. Keep the sander moving over new areas to avoid heating and softening the old coating (paint or varnish). 5. Work in wide, overlapping strokes to produce a uniform fi nish. 6. As the workpiece begins to show through the old coating, switch to a medium grit sandpaper disc to avoid scratching the surface of the workpiece. Gradually switch to a fi ne grit sandpaper until you achieve the desired fi nish. Emptying the Dust Bag For more effi cient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This will permit the air to fl ow through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage. WARNING Finish sanding can produce clouds of fi ne dust that could ignite in the presence of sparks or open fl ame. Always wear a suitable dust mask or respirator and use your sander in a well-ventilated area. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, inspect for and remove all raised nails and fasteners from workpiece before sanding. Striking a fastener while sanding could cause loss of control. WARNING Properly secure workpiece before sanding. Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator causing 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 To reduce the risk of fi re and explosion, paint solvents and varnish removers must be removed from the workpiece and the workpiece must be completely dry before sanding. WARNING Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fi re. To reduce the risk of fi re 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. MAINTENANC E WARNING To reduce the risk of WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, inju...
