Dust Collection#

The drum sander is not hooked up to the central dust collection system, so you will need to attach a vacuum hose to the top of the machine and have the vacuum on for the duration of the sanding process.

The drum sander produces fine particulate that can be hazardous to our respiratory system.

Make sure vacuum is attached and turned on before turning on drum sander.
