For more efficient operation, empty the dust collection

storage.

ignite in your sander dust collection bag or else-

always empty your dust bag frequently (10-15 min-
utes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
