DUST BAG (FIG 6)
the sander comes with a dust bag (4) for dust colletion.
to attach the dust bag, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the sander is turned off and the battery is
removed.
NOTE:
the sander can be used to sand and smooth
wood, plastic, and some compound materials. it can also
be used to remove or sand smooth materials such as paint,
varnishes, shellac and other finish materials.
review manual section "safety rules for removing Paint
and other finishes" before starting these projects.
for any sanding or finish removal projects start with a low
count grit (generally anything below 100 is considered
rough or low grit).
after sanding to a more level finish or beginning to see
finish removed, switch to a medium grit (generally 100 to
200).
Depending on the final finish result desired use a finish grit
(220 and above) to achieve the final finish.
NOTE:
there are many very high grit sandpapers
available which can be used wet or dry. ONLY use this
type of sandpaper for DRY sanding. DO NOT use this
on the sander for wet sanding.
GENERAL SANDING
NOTE:
secure the workpiece by a clamp or other
device to prevent it from moving under the sander.
1.
grasp the sander tightly in front and away from you;
keep it clear of the workpiece. turn on the sander and
let motor build to its maximum speed. slowly lower the
sander onto the workpiece. Move the sander slowly
across the workpiece using small circular motions.
OPERATION
2. slide the open end of the dust bag (4) over the dust
port (5) as shown in fig 6.
to remove the dust bag follow these steps:
1. Make sure the sander is turned off and the battery is
removed.
2. Pull the dust bag back away from the dust port.
NOTE:
should be emptied frequently when used for dust collection.

APPLICATIONS
2.
Do not force the tool. let it do the work. light pressure is
all that is required for sanding, polishing and scrubbing.
excessive pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear
sandpaper, reduce sander speed and produce inferior
results.
3.
for all sanding and removal projects, keep the sander
moving in a circular or sweeping motion side to side or
forward and back. (When sanding wood, move in the
same direction as the grain.)
4.
avoid keeping the sander stationary in one position
for an extended period, as this can lead to gouging,
necessitating additional sanding to achieve a smooth
finish.
5.
any finish or resin on wood may soften from frictional
heat. Do not sand on one spot for too long, as the sander
may remove too much material, making your surface
uneven.
6.
replace the sandpaper as necessary when the grit has
significantly worn down and is no longer effectively
removing material.
