Installing and Removing the Dust

Canister

Your sander is supplied with a dust canister to

help you keep the working area clean. The dust

canister is ideal for smaller jobs. For maximum

efciency, the dust canister should be emptied

frequently during operation.

WARNING

Always disconnect the plug

from the power source

before installing or removing the dust canister.

To install the dust canister, align the slot on

the dust canister with the rib on the tool, and

then push the dust canister onto the tool until it

locks into place. To remove the dust canister,

simply pull the dust canister away from the tool

(Fig. 5).

Cleaning and Emptying the Dust

Canister

Remove the dust canister from the sander and

shake out the dust. For a more thorough clean-

ing of the dust canister, remove the housing of

the dust canister from the lter and shake out

the dust (Fig. 6).

You may remove dust with a soft brush (not in-

cluded). You may notice that all the dust does

not come out of the dust canister. This will not

affect sanding performance, but will reduce

dust-collection efciency.

WARNING

Be extremely careful of dust

disposal; materials in ne

particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open re. Combustion from

mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles can occur if there

is a static discharge, a spark introduced in the canister, or excessive heat.
