The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, insert
the dust nozzle into the dust spout on the blade case
and fit the bag's entry port over 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.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
