ROUTER DUST COLLECTION

Your router is equipped with a dust extraction hood for use when routing is done in the middle of the workpiece, such as when creating slots or routing patterns for inlays. If you have a shop vacuum system, you can attach the dust extraction hood for improved visibility, accuracy and utility, particularly in freehand routing.

To attach, position as shown and secure adapter to base with the thumbscrews provided (Fig. 5).

The dust extraction hood can also be installed with the hose outlet facing the front of the tool. If the templet guide adapter is installed, it will need to be reversed or removed to allow the release lever to fit under the dust hood.

The dust extraction hood itself is sized to accept 35mm vacuum hoses. Also included is an adapter that will connect the hood to 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” vacuum hoses.
