attached to the upper guard (Fig. 11, 23). This

ing any dust collection component.
Attaching the Dust Bag
Attaching and Removing Dust Bag – To attach
the dust bag (Fig. 11, 32), squeeze the two red

throw sawdust on an open fire. Spontaneous
combustion, in time, may result from the mix-
ture of oil or water with dust particles.
Using Dust Bag – Attach the clean bag to the
dust port (Fig. 11, 41).
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 zipper
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.
