HOW TO HOLD A DRYWALL SANDER
Hold the sander with both hands on the
main tube (A) Fig. 1. Position your hands
anywhere along the main tube to provide the
best combination of reach and leverage.
To reduce the risk of
personal injury, keep your hands on the
main tube (A) Fig. 1. Keep away from the
sanding head area. The sanding head
swivels in multiple directions and can pinch
your hand.
CONNECTING THE SANDER TO YOUR SHOP VAC
Furnished with the Drywall Sander are:
• A 13' (396 cm) long vacuum hose. This hose has a standard 1-1/4" (3.2 cm)
vacuum cleaner connector on one end and a special swivel connector on
the other end. It has a static dissipating feature to dissipate static electrical
charges.
• An adapter [1-1/4" (3.2 cm) to 2-1/2" (6.4 cm)] to allow the connection of the
sander to a 2-1/2" (6.4 cm) vacuum cleaner.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before installing and removing acces-
sories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
