OPERATION
EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 5, page 11.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no
more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the
bag better. Always empty and clean the dust 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 the sander dust 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 coating manufacturers.
