ASSEMBLY con.
NOTE: Empty dust box frequently so dust collection system works properly.
For more efficient operation, empty dust box when it is no more than 1/2 full.
This will allow better airflow through the box.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
!
WARNING:
Empty dust box before storage to help prevent possible fire
hazard, especially when resin coating or linseed oil finishes have been sanded.

DUST BOX / DUST COLLECTION
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
(polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust box or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty dust box frequently and strictly follow
sander manual and coating manufacturer’s instructions.
!
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the sander could result in accidental starting
causing possible serious personal injury.
!
WARNING:
When working on metal surfaces, DO NOT use the dust box
or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a
dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium
surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

CYCLONIC DUST/AIR SEPARATOR (CDS) COLLECTION SYSTEM
Dust Box features advanced air flow design with centrifugal force dust extraction that
separates the dust particles from the air flow as they enter the box. The clean air then flows
out of the box while the dust particles are trapped inside. This system provides more
efficient dust collection than the standard dust bag system.
