▶ Assembling Dust Collection System
To avoid possible injury,
disconnect plug from power
source
before
performing
any
assembly,
adjustments or repairs.
▼ ATTACHING THE DUST BAG
To attach the dust bag, squeaze the two wire tabs
together and slide the dust bag over the dust port
rib (see figure 5).
▼ USING AND CLEANING THE DUST BAG
Using Dust Bag –
Attach the clean bag to the dust
port.
Cleaning Dust Bag –
After the dust bag is 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.
NOTE: Clean the bag at the end of the cutting
session and before transporting or storing the saw.
Be extremely careful when
disposing of dust. Materials
in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not
throw sawdust on an open fire. Spontaneous
combustion, in time, may result from the mixture
of oil or water with dust particles.
▼ ATTACHING A VACUUM CLEANER /DUST
ExTRACTOR
The saw’s dust port will accept the typical nozzles
from 35 mm vacuum cleaner hoses, such as the
VX120 that is included with the Bosch VH-Series
hoses.
To connect the saw with a 1¼”. or 1½” hose, the
Bosch VAC002 or VAC024 adapters can be used
(both sold separately). To connect the saw with a
2½” hose, the Bosch VAC020 (sold separately)
should be used. Note: some 1½” hoses may fit over
the exit port directly.
Attaching to Vacuum –
Insert the vacuum nozzle
into (or onto) the exit port as far as it will go (Fig.
6). Check to see that the vacuum hose is free from
the mechanism and cutting path before plugging
saw into power source.
▼ REPOSITIONING OR REMOVING THE
RUBBER DEFLECTOR
The rubber deflector extends the range of dust and
debris collection and should be left on the tool for
maximum dust pickup efficiency, (figure 7). When
slide cutting extra-tall materials (2-3/4" high), the
rubber deflector will contact and flex over these
materials. It will also contact and flex when the
saw is pulled back before the cut. It will return to
its original shape after the cut.
Repositioning Deflector –
If the operator wants to
avoid the contact of the rubber deflector with the
material, the deflector can be temporarily folded
up and over the back of the dust chute. If the
operator permanently wants no contact of the
deflector with the material being cut, the deflector
may be removed.
