To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
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.
