Always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields

CLEANING
THE DUST
BOX (Fig. 9)

empty
the dust box when it is no more
than half full. This will permit the
air to flow through the box better.
Always empty and clean the dust
box thoroughly
when you've
finished sanding and before you
store the sander.

such

linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite
in the sander dust box or
elsewhere

box frequently
while sanding and never store or leave a sander without
totally
emptying
its dust box. Also follow the recommendations
of the coating
manufacturers.
