Product Information
Full details
The Power-TEC 91397 Long Sanding File is an essential tool for automotive body repair technicians and workshop professionals who require consistent, level surface preparation. Its primary benefit is the integrated dust extraction system, which keeps the work environment clean and improves visibility during sanding tasks. One caveat to note is that this tool requires a compatible vacuum source to utilize the extraction feature effectively, so users without an extraction system may find the hose connection unnecessary.

FAQs
Does this tool come with abrasive paper?
No, the Power-TEC 91397 is a sanding block/file only; abrasive strips must be purchased separately.
Can I use this without a vacuum?
Yes, but you will lose the benefit of the dust extraction system and the holes may become clogged with debris.
What is the handle made of?
The handle is constructed from a strong, lightweight composite material for durability and comfort.
Will any vacuum hose fit the connection?
The tool features a standard connection, but some shop vacuums may require a universal adapter depending on their hose diameter.
How do I maintain the Velcro backing?
Keep the backing clean of excessive dust by tapping it out frequently and avoiding contamination with grease or oil.
Troubleshooting
Poor dust extraction
Check the hose connection for clogs and ensure the vacuum power is set to a sufficient level.
Abrasive strip won't stay on
Ensure the base is clean and free of dust, and confirm the Velcro backing on the file is not worn out.
Surface being sanded is not level
Use lighter pressure and longer strokes; ensure you are not pressing down on just the center of the tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the file, align your chosen sanding strip with the Velcro backing, ensuring the dust extraction holes are aligned correctly with the base. Secure the hose of your extraction system to the integrated port. To care for your tool, remove abrasive sheets after every session to prevent dust buildup on the Velcro. Clean the dust extraction channels with compressed air if you notice a decrease in suction power. Store the file flat to prevent the base from warping over time.
