WARNING:
Do not use the dust collection bag when sanding
metal. Using the dust collection bag when sanding
metal creates a fire hazard, which could damage
the tool and lead to serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc.,
can self-ignite in the sander dust collection bag
or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk
of fire, always empty the dust bag frequently
while sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust bag. Also
follow the recommendations of the coatings
manufacturers.
