1. Determine where you want to mount your dust collector.
2. Use a stud finder to locate two wooden wall studs.
Mark the locations.
Fig. 3.
3. Measure the distance between the two wall studs and cut
two pieces of 2 x 4 material long enough to span both studs.
You will screw these cleats to the wall studs and then
mount the Z-Bracket (10) to one of these cleats; the other
cleat will support the bottom of the larger black Base (1)
on the dust collector.
Fig. 4.
4. Place one of the cleats at the desired mounting height, and
use a level to make sure it’s straight.
5. At each end of the cleat, drill two 1/8" pilot holes
through the cleat and into the studs and drive two
#10 x 3" screws (not included).
6. Attach the second 2 x 4 mounting cleat about 8" down from
the bottom of the first, using the same methods.
Fig. 4.
7. 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.
8. Drill 1/8" x 1
