The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust
bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half 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 further collection.
