Combustion from mixture of varnishes,
lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with
dust particles can occur if there is a static

Do not use dust extraction for operations
where dust may include burning, smoking
or smoldering items like hot ashes or
sparks.
Fire inside the dust box may occur.
Dust may smolder and set the device on fire
long after work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
