Backing Pad Damper
Your tool is equipped with an integrated
backing pad damper ring. This damper
reduces the no-load speed, which helps
prevent swirl marks on the workpiece surface
and provides uniform finishing.
NOTE: If you notice steadily increasing no-
load speed, this indicates that the damper
ring is worn and needs to be replaced.
To replace damper ring, remove backing pad
as described in "Backing Pad Installation" and
remove worn damper ring by pulling firmly
out of locating groove. Loosen the two
screws on shroud just enough so you can
separate shroud approximately 1/4 inch. Align
locating bumps on damper ring with cut outs
in shroud and depress ring with thumbs until
shroud seats into groove completely around
ring, then tighten screws (Fig. 4).
Re-attach backing pad as described in
"Backing Pad Installation".
Dust Bag
The integral dust extraction system collects
sanding dust in the dust bag supplied with
your sander. For maximum efficiency, the
dust bag should be emptied frequently during
operation.
frequently, after completion of sanding, and
before storing the sander. Be extremely
careful of dust disposal, materials in fine
particle form may be explosive. Do not throw
sanding dust on an open fire. Combustion
from mixture of varnishes, lacquers,
polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles
can occur if there is a static discharge, spark
introduced in the box, or excessive heat.
