Dust Collection
To connect a dust collection hose:
1. Place the hose clamp over the end of the 4" flex-
ible hose.
2. Fit the 4" flexible hose over the dust port, as
shown in Figure 19 , and tighten.
DO NOT operate the Model ST1000 without an
adequate dust collection system. This saw cre-
ates substantial amounts of wood dust while
operating. Failure to use a dust collection sys-
tem can result in short and long-term respira-
tory illness.
3. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for best perfor-
mance!
4. Connect hose to a dust collection system.
