Using the Belt Sander Dust Bag

If your belt sander comes equipped with a dust collection system and bag, then it’s a good idea to understand how to operate the dust bag.  Attaching the dust bag should be easy.  If you have trouble attaching the dust bag, then take a look at your belt sander’s manual because you don’t want any complications once you get started.  Once the dust bag is properly secured, it’s time to go to work.  After some time, the dust bag will fill.  Empty the dust bag frequently to ensure proper operation.  To empty the dust bag, remove it from the belt sander.  Locate the zipper (typically on the rear of the bag), unzip the bag, and empty into a trashcan.
