Can I connect a vacuum cleaner?

Yes, the sander has a dust port to connect to a vacuum cleaner for effective dust collection. This helps keep your workspace clean and improves visibility.

The orbit diameter is 1.5mm, which is designed for fine finishing work.

The sander weighs 1.1kg.

What accessories are included?

Troubleshooting

Check the power connection and ensure the power outlet is working. Verify the power switch is in the 'on' position.
