sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes,
linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in your sander
dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce
the risk of fire, always empty your dust bag
frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and
never store or leave a sander without totally
emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommen-
dations of the coatings manufacturers.
