Attaching a Vacuum Cleaner
The elbow has an exit port which will accept a
standard 35mm diameter vacuum fitting or a 1-1/4"
tube diameter. The 35mm diameter fitting is the
standard size used on the Bosch Airsweep
Cleaners, Models 3931 and 3931A. For larger
vacuum tube sizes, use an adaptor.
Attaching to Vacuum – Insert the vacuum fitting or
tube into the elbow's exit port as far as it will go.
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
The rubber deflector extends the range of dust and
debris collection and should be left on the tool for
maximum dust pickup efficiency. When slide cutting
extra-tall materials (more than 2-13/16" 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.

Removing Deflector – Pull one of the deflector's
injury,
tabs to the front and then sideways until it comes off
one of the dust chute's side hooks (see Figure 9).
Unhook the opposite side. Then unhook the deflector
from the rear post of the chute by pulling and
stretching until it is free. NOTE: Removing the
deflector lowers dust collection capability.
Attaching Deflector – Start by stretching and
hooking the deflector over the rear post, followed by
Vacuum
hooking over each side hook (see Figure 10).
