ASSEMBLY
WARNING
The tool should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is
not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded fi nish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and
other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as fl int and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material
and fi ner grit will produce the best fi nish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded
will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is
rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface
is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and fi ner grit used for
fi nishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.
Sheet/pad recommended use
80-grit sanding sheet Coarse sanding
120-grit sanding sheet Light sanding
150-grit sanding sheet Light sanding
ATTACHING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING DISCS
See Figure 2.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with
holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding
disc against pad as tightly as possible.
NOTE: Hook and loop type sanding discs can be reused
for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that
you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for
best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with
a small brush.
ATTACHING THE DUST BOX
See Figure 3.
The dust box provides a dust collection system for the
sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the
sanding disc and collected in the dust box during sanding.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Using a slight twisting motion, fi rmly slide the dust box
assembly in the blower exhaust on the sander.
