,d_ WARNING: Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, make sure that
the random orbit sander has been disconnected from the power source.

CLEANING THE DUST BAG
For most efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half
full. This will permit the air to flow through the dust bag better. Always empty
and clean the dust bag thoroughly when you've finished sanding and before you
store the sander.
To empty the dust bag
1. Disconnect the sander from
the power source.
2. Remove the dust bag from
the sander and shake out the
dust.
3. For a more thorough cleaning
of the dust bag, remove the
dust bag from the frame and
shake out the dust (Fig. 5).
4. Use a soft brush to clean
the frame.

NOTICE: When replacing the dust bag over the frame, make sure that the steel
ring of the dust bag snaps into the slot of the frame.
,_ WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such
as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire, always empty the dust
bag frequently while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally
emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coating
manufacturers.
