Dust bag
To attach the dust bag, fit
it
onto the dust
nozzle.
If
the dust bag becomes an obstacle
to your work, turn the dust nozzle to change
the dust bag position.
When the dust bag is about half full, switch
off and unplug the tool. Remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the bag's fastener out.
Empty the dust bag by tapping
it
lightly to
remove as much of the dust as possible.
