USING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
The dust collection bag provides a dust collection system
for the sander.
WARNING:
Do not use the dust collection bag when sanding metal.
Using the dust collection bag when sanding metal creates
a fire hazard, which could damage the tool and lead to
serious personal injury.
TO ATTACH THE DUST COLLECTION BAG

Follow these steps to attach the dust collection bag.
n Unplug the sander.
n Slide the dust bag retainer over the blower exhaust hole
on the sander.
TO EMPTY THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
For more efficient operation, empty the dust collection bag
when it is no more than half full. This action permits the air
to flow through the bag better. Always empty and clean the
dust collection bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding
operation and before placing the sander in storage.
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in
ther sander dust collection bag or elsewhere and cause
fire. To reduce the risk of fire, always empty the dust
bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never
store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust
bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings
manufacturers.
