Attaching The Blade), the blade will slip when
it encounters ex cessive resistance, thus

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.
