For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when 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 while sanding. Never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

To empty the dust bag:

Unplug the sander.

Remove dust bag from sander.

Open zipper.
