Assembling Dust Collection System
ATTACHING THE DUST BAG
To attach the dust bag, slide the dust bag over the
d
ust port rib (see Fig. 5).
USING AND CLEANING THE DUST BAG
U
sing Dust Bag – Attach the clean bag to the dust
port.
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.
NOTE: Clean the bag at the end of the cutting
session and before transporting or storing the saw.
Be extremely careful when
disposing of dust. Materials
in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not
throw sawdust on an open fire. Spontaneous
combustion, in time, may result from the mixture
of oil or water with dust particles.
ATTACHING A VACUUM CLEANER /DUST
EXTRACTOR
The saw’s dust port will accept the typical nozzles
from 35 mm vacuum cleaner hoses, and Bosch
VH–Series hoses.
To connect the saw with a 1¼” or 1½” hose, the
Bosch VAC024 adapter can be used (sold
separately).
Attaching to Vacuum – Insert the vacuum nozzle
into (or onto) the exit port as far as it will go
(Fig. 6). 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, (Fig. 7). When
slide cutting extra-tall materials (2-3/4" high), the
rubber deflector will contact and flex over these
materials. It will also contact and flex when the
saw is pulled back before the cut. It will return to
its original shape after the cut.
Repositioning Deflector – If the operator wants 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.
