DUST COLLECTION
Sanding dust can be hazardous to your health. Always wear a dust mask and operate the tool in a well-
ventilated area. This sander comes with a dust port adapter and dust collection box. Before operation
the sander, make sure to install the dust box, or connect the tool to a suitable dust extraction system.
DUST EXTRACTION WITH DUST BOX
INSTALLING DUST BOX
• Push dust box onto the dust port on the side (Fig. 4 - 12).
REMOVING AND EMPTYING DUST BOX
• Turn off and unplug sander, then pull the dust box off. Tap it over
garbage can to empty dust box.
DUST EXTRACTION SYSTEM
1. With the dust box removed, attach the dust hose of your dust extraction system to the dust port (Fig.
4 - 12). You may install the dust port adapter, or reducer to adjust the size of the dust port to t your
dust hose.
2. Attach a dust extraction hose onto the dust port adapter, or reducer (if used).
3. Connect the other end of the dust extraction hose to the dust extraction system of your choice.
WARNING: Do not allow the workpiece to overheat. This can cause a re if the wood dust
is mixed with other chemicals, paint residues or metal residues. Always empty the dust box and
vacuum used before leaving the work station.
7. To adjust the sanding belt, turn the belt tracking knob (Fig. 3 -
4) either clockwise or counterclockwise until the sanding belt
runs down the center. Turning the screw clockwise will cause
the belt to track more to the left (as viewed from the bottom of
the sander); turning the screw counterclockwise will cause it
to track more to the right. Run the sander for a short period of
time and adjust the tracking until the sanding belt is running in
the center of the roller. Make sure the belt does not rub against
the casing of the sander.
