Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.
NOTICE:
Depending on the type of vacuum cleaner
and hose used, the dust collecting port may be
blocked by the dust collecting guard, making it impos-
sible to collect dust. In that case, weaken the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
