3. Before removing the dust bag, first disconnect the
plug from the power supply.
WARNING: For optimum dust removal, emp-
ty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. Do not
use the dust bag when sanding metal. The hot metal
particles could cause residual wood dust or the bag
itself to catch fire.
Cleaning the bag: Dismount and empty the dust bag,
tapping it gently to remove dust. On occasion, slip the
bag off of the frame and turn bag inside out. Brush dust
off of the lining using a soft brush.

a household vacuum cleaner or workshop dust ex-
traction system to the sander.
5. An adapter is fitted into the dust extraction port (10).
