EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 10.
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

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc.,
can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere

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.
