One of the cause for fire hazard is when you leave the sawdust inside the vacuum bag. These sawdust that are captured inside the bag are flammable. This means that the vacuum bag needs to be emptied every after the job is done. Aside from that, if you’re cleaning up after sanding down concrete or plastering for example, the smaller dust particles will clog up the pores in the bag. This in turn will significantly reduce the air permeability and performance of the appliance. With this article, we will walk you through how easy it is to empty the Vacuum Bag of an OnFloor OF16S.
Before we start, please make sure the machine is not plugged into the power source. Utilize the lockout tagout procedure, and refer to the EZV manual.
