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		35 mm
bottom of the bag. Hold the bag by the coupler end		Diameter	FIG. 6
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.

sawdust on an open fire. Spontaneous
combustion, in time, may result from the mixture			1-1/4 inch
of oil or water with dust particles.

Attaching a Vacuum Cleaner

The elbow has an exit port which will accept a standard 35mm diameter vacuum fitting or a 1-1/4" tube diameter. The 35mm diameter fitting is the standard size used on the Bosch Vacuum Cleaners. For larger vacuum tube sizes, use an adaptor.

Attaching to Vacuum – Insert the vacuum fitting or tube into the exit port as far as it will go, (figure 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.

Rubber

Deflector

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.
