MICROFILTER DUST CANISTER The integral dust extraction system collects sanding dust in canister supplied with your sander. For maximum efficiency, the dust canister should be emptied frequently during operation. ! WARNING Your tool is equipped with a dust canister, empty it 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. REMOVING AND INSTALLING DUST CANISTER To attach dust canister, slide canister support in direction of arrow (A) until it stops. Insert mounting clip into the pocket provided on canister. Then slide canister support through mounting clip in direction of arrow (B) and push onto the dust port (Fig. 4). To remove dust canister, squeeze release tabs on both sides of canister and simply pull away from the tool (Fig. 5).
