Fig.4.4
This machine is tted with a 50mm diameter dust extraction outlet. This is located at the rear of the machine
directly under the table. (Fig.4.5)
Attach your shop’s dust collector hose to this dust port
to collect the dust produced while sanding.
NOTE: DO NOT operate the sander without a dust
collector and wear a protective dust mask. Sanding
creates substantial amounts of dust which can be
harmful to your respiratory system!
Always start the dust collector before the machine is
started. The holes in the table insert are used to extract
the dust through the table.
Minimum requirement for dust extraction 200CFM
Some dust created by power sanding
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals that may cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Your risk from
exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure,
