Cleaning the bag: Empty the dust bag by unzipping
the lever lock located on the bottom of the bag and tap
it gently to remove dust. On occasion, slip the bag off
of the frame and turn bag inside out. Brush dust off of
the lining using a soft brush.

vacuum cleaner can be connected to the adaptor
tube (15) for the efficient removal of dust and shavings
permitting a safer and cleaner working environment.
