USING THE DUST PORT (FIG. OO)
To prevent fire hazard, clean and remove sawdust from
under the saw frequently.
The sawdust port has a 2-1/2 in. (63.5 mm, O.D.)
diameter opening, suitable for attaching to a wet/dry
vacuum hose to help keep the work area free of
sawdust.
To prevent sawdust buildup inside the saw housing,
attach a vacuum hose (1) to the dust port (2) at the rear
of the table saw. DO NOT operate the saw with the hose
in place unless the vacuum is turned on.
