Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust spout.
► Fig.13: 1. Dust bag 2. Dust spout
The neck of the dust spout rotates freely. Position the
dust bag so that you can operate the tool comfortably.
► Fig.14
When the dust bag is about one-third full, remove the
dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper collection.
