CLEANING THE
DUST-COLLECTING BOX
For most efficient operation, empty the
dust-collecting box when it is no more
than half full. This will permit the air to flow
through the dust box better. Always empty
and thoroughly clean the dust box when
you’ve finished sanding and before you
store the sander.

ING BOX (FIG. 7)

WARNING:
Collected sanding dust
from sanding surface coatings such as
polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-
ignite in the sander dust box or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire,
always empty the dust box frequently while
sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust box. Also
follow the recommendations of the coat-
ings manufacturers.
