Assembling Dust Elbow And Dust Bag
Assembling Dust Elbow and Dust Bag
The dust collection system used on this tool is unique because it is not attached to the upper guard. This placement provides superior dust col- lection for the majority of cuts.
Elbow
The CM12 offers two dust chute configurations, ei- ther with or without the dust elbow.
Use the dust elbow when working in tight locations or up against a wall where space is limited behind the saw. For optimal dust collection, set the dust elbow aside and connect the dust bag directly to the dust chute.
To attach the dust elbow, slide the elbow onto the dust chute for a pressure fit (Fig. 7).

Attach Dust Bag
To attach the dust bag, slide the bag onto the dust chute or the elbow for a pressure fit. (See Figure 7)
Cleaning Dust Bag
After the dust bag is 2/3 to 3/4 full, remove it form 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 to the saw.
Be extremely careful when dis- ! WARNING posing of dust. Do not throw
sawdust on an open fire. Materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Spontaneous combustion, in time, may result from the mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
When sawing chemically pres- sure treated lumber, paint that may be lead based, or any other materials that
may contain carcinogens, use special precau- tions. A suitable respirator must be worn by all personnel entering the work area. Work area should be sealed by plastic sheeting and per- sons not protected should be kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.
