Attaching the Dust Bag
To attach the dust bag, squeaze the two wire tabs
together and slide the dust bag over the dust port rib
(see figure 5).
Using and Cleaning the Dust Bag
Using Dust Bag – Attach the clean bag to the dust
port.
Cleaning Dust Bag – After the dust bag is 2/3 to 3/4
full, remove it from the saw. Bring the bag to a proper
container and pull open the zipper located on the
bottom of the bag. Hold the bag by the coupler end
and shake it vigorously until all the dust and debris
fall from it. Close zipper and reattach the bag.
NOTE: Clean the bag at the end of the cutting
session and before transporting or storing the saw.
WARNING
fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw
sawdust on
combustion, in time, may result from the mixture
of oil or water with dust particles.
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 Vacuum Cleaners.
For larger vacuum tube sizes, use an adaptor.
Attaching to Vacuum – Insert the vacuum fitting or
tube into the exit port as far as it will go, (figure 6).
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 Deflector
The rubber deflector extends the range of dust and
debris collection and should be left on the tool for
maximum dust pickup efficiency, (figure 7). When
slide cutting extra-tall materials (2-3/4" 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.
