power source before performing any assem-
bly, adjustments or repairs.
The dust collection system used on this tool is
unique because it is not attached to the upper
guard. This placement provides superior dust
collection for the majority of cuts. When adjust-
ing or removing any dust collection components,
be sure the saw is unplugged.
Attaching and Adjusting
the Dust Bag (sold separately)
Attaching (and Removing) Dust Bag – To at-
tach the dust bag, squeeze the two red tabs to-
gether and slide the dust bag into the dust port
rib (see figure 6).
Adjusting Dust Bag – After attaching the bag,
it is recommended to do a "dry cut" before cut-
ting with the saw – this means: unplug the tool,
preset it for intended cut and practice the cut.
For some bevel cuts, the sliding fence may have
to be moved or removed to avoid being cut or
making contact with the dust bag. The bag's po-
sition may also need a rotating adjustment if it
contacts the workpiece during a slide cut.
Using and Cleaning the Dust Bag
Using Dust Bag – Attach the clean bag to the
elbow. Adjust the elbow and dust bag, if neces-
sary, so they do not interfere with the tool dur-
ing the intended cutting operation.
Cleaning Dust Bag – After the dust bag is 2/3
to 3/4 full, remove it from the saw. Bring the
bag to a proper container and pull open the zip-
per located on the bottom of the bag. Hold the
bag by the coupler end and shake it vigorously
until all the dust and debris fall from it. Close
zipper and reattach the bag. NOTE: Clean the
bag at the end of the cutting session and before
transporting or storing the saw (see Figure 7).
Materials in fine particle form may be explo-
sive. Do not throw sawdust on an open fire.
Spontaneous combustion, in time, may result
from the mixture of oil or water with dust par-
ticles.
