CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE

DUST CANISTER

The dust canister is transparent which will

allow you to easily see when empting and

cleaning is requires.

To empty dust the canister: screw off and

remove microfilter from the dust canister.

Empty dust canister (Fig. 9).

It is recommended to loosen dust from the

microfilter by gently striking it against a solid

surface (Fig. 10).

Knock excess dust out of the microfilt

er, or

remove dust with your fingers or a soft brush.

You may notice that all the dust may not come

out of the canister. This will not affect sanding

performance but will reduce dust collection

efficiency.

NOTE: Do not wash the microfilter with soap

and water. Dust may become more firmly

lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust

collection, and damage the micro filter.

To ensure optimum dust extraction, em

pty and

clean the canister and microfilter frequently.

ATTACHING VACUUM HOSE

When the canister is removed from the tool, an

(optional) vacuum hose accessory can be

attached to the dust port. To use this feature,

attach vacuum hose (optional accessory) to

dust port, then connect opposite end of the

vacuum hose to a shop vacuum cleaner.

The VAC024 vacuum hose adapter is included

for connection of this tool to a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2"

vacuum hose (Fig. 11).

Mount the va

cuum hose onto the dust port in

such a manner that the open slot on the dust

port remains open. This prevents the tool from

adhering to the workpiece during sanding

operation and improves the surface quality.

SUCTION CONTROL

When using a vacuum hose with this sander

the amount of suction can be adjusted by

sliding the hose over or off the open slot in the

hose port area on the sander.

The vacuum cleaner mus

t be suitable for the

material being sanded.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially

detrimental to health or may be carcinogenic,

use a special vacuum cleaner.

W

hen sanding on vertical surfaces, hold the

power tool in such a manner that the vacuum

hose faces downward.
