Assembling Dust Collection
System
To avoid possible injury,
d
isconnect plug from
power source before performing any
assembly, adjustments or repairs.
ATTACHING A VACUUM CLEANER /DUST
EXTRACTOR
The saw’s dust port will accept the typical
nozzles from 35 mm vacuum cleaner hoses,
such as the VX120 that is included with the
Bosch VH-Series hoses.
To connect the saw with a 1¼”. or 1½” hose,
the Bosch VAC002 or VAC024 adapters can
be used (both sold separately). To connect
the saw with a 2½” hose, the Bosch VAC020
(sold separately) should be used.
Attaching to Vacuum – Insert the vacuum
fitting or tube into the elbow’s exit port as far
as it will go. Check to see that the vacuum
hose is free from the mechanism and cutting
path before plugging saw into power source.

REPOSITIONING OR REMOVING THE
RUBBER DEFLECTOR
The rubber deflector extends the range of
dust and debris collection and should be left
on the tool for maximum dust pickup
efficiency. When slide cutting extra-tall
materials (more than 2-3/16" high), the
rubber deflector will contact and flex over
these materials. It will also contact and flex
w
hen the saw is pulled back before the cut. It
will return to its original shape after the cut.
Repositioning Deflector – If the operator
w
ants to avoid the contact of the rubber
deflector with the material, the deflector can
be temporarily folded up and over the back of
the dust chute. If the operator permanently
wants no contact of the deflector with the
material being cut, the deflector may be
removed.
Removing Deflector – Pull one of the
deflector’s tabs to the front and then
sideways until it comes off one of the dust
chute’s side hooks (see Figure 9). Unhook the
opposite side. Then unhook the deflector
from the rear post of the chute by pulling and
stretching until it is free. NOTE: Removing the
deflector lowers dust collection capability.
Attaching Deflector – Start by stretching and
hooking the deflector over the rear post,
followed by hooking over each side hook (see
Figure 10).
