Align the rib on the dust-exhaust
port with the groove in the dust box.

it is advisable to use a suitable
vacuum
cleaner. Attach an 1=1/4 in. wet/dry=vacuum

to also wear a suitable
dust mask, as there may be residual
airborne
dust particles in the area.

WARNING:
The dust that is produced
while sanding
can be detrimental
to health, flammable,
or explosive.
Suitable safety measures
are required.
Examples:
Some types of dust are known to cause cancer. Always wear a dust
mask, and use the proper dust collection
method: dust box for small volume and

SELECTING
THE RIGHT
GRADE
OF SANDPAPER
Different grades of sandpaper
can be purchased
from the store where you
purchased
the tool.
Available
grades are: Coarse, Medium
and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes,
medium
grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine
the
optimum
grades
of sandpaper
for a particular job.
