Unplug the sander.
 Slide dust bag assembly onto blower exhaust turning
clockwise to tighten.

Unplug the sander.
 Turn the dust bag counterclockwise to remove from
sander.

When sander is not connected to vacuum, always
install dust bag back on sander. Failure to do so
could cause sanding dust or foreign objects to be
thrown into the face or eyes which could result in
possible serious injury.
NOTE: A standard 1-1/4 in. vacuum hose fits inside the
smaller diameter hole inside the dust exhaust, while a stan-
dard 2-1/2 in. vacuum hose connection fits inside the larger
hole of the dust exhaust.
