Z-Bracket Mounting
Exposed-stud Wall
1. Determine where you want to mount your dust collector;
installation will be easiest if the location is between two
wooden wall studs.
2. Measure the distance between the two wall studs at the
desired location and cut two lengths of 2 x 4 material
matching that distance. You will mount the Z-Bracket (10)
to one of these cleats; the other will support the bottom
of the larger black Base (1) on the dust collector.
3. Place one of the cleats between the studs at the desired
mounting height, and use a level to make sure it’s straight.
Clamp it in place if necessary.
Fig. 1.
4. At each end, drill two 1/8" pilot holes through the
studs and into the end of the cleat and drive two #10 x 3"
screws (not included).
5. Attach the second 2 x 4 mounting cleat about 8" down from
the bottom of the first, using the same method.
Fig. 1.
6. Position the Z-Bracket (10) on the top cleat as desired, use
a level to make sure it’s straight, and use the holes in the
bracket to mark locations for pilot holes.
7. Drill 1/8" x 1

9. Fit the dust collector onto the Z-Bracket (10), making
sure the bracket is between the left and right limit
stoppers.

Collector outside the work area, especially if the work area
contains a gas-fueled appliance. In drawing the air outside,
the dust collector could lead to a buildup inside the work
area of combustion gases – including deadly carbon
monoxide – that normally are vented from
gas-fueled appliances.

Screws (11) driven into solid wood cleats securely
attached between structurally sound wooden wall
studs (in applications with open framing) or across
structurally sound wall studs (in finished-wall applications).
All cleats spanning wall studs must be long enough that
both ends of the cleats can be attached to studs.
> Do NOT use wall anchors or drywall anchors to mount
the Dust Collector.
> To prevent damage to the power cord, select a mounting
location for the Dust Collector that will keep the cord out
of high-traffic areas.
> The motor assembly of the Dust Collector is heavy. To
avoid the risk of serious injury, you MUST obtain the help
of another adult to lift the unit into position. Use proper
lifting techniques.
> After assembly or maintenance, make sure that you
have removed all loose tools from the machine before
turning it on.
