Dust Collection
The Model G0596/G0597/G0598/G0599 features
a dust port at the rear of the grinding wheel. If a
dust collection system is not attached, both ports
have spark deflectors that direct sparks down-
ward.
To connect a dust collection hose:
1.
Remove the spark deflector.
2.
Fit the dust hose over the dust port, as
shown in Figure 5 , and secure in place with
a hose clamp.
3.
Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

wheels were not damaged during shipping.
