made in
Step 14.

This saw creates substantial amounts of fine dust
while operating. Failure to use a vacuum system can
result in respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at each Dust Port
: ......... 400 CFM
Connect this machine to a shop vacuum rather than a
dust collector. Most dust collectors are not designed to
capture metal shavings and doing so may lead to a fire.
If you are in doubt about the capabilities of your shop
vacuum or dust collector, refer the owner's manual before
connecting it to this machine.
Dust Collection

collection system.
ONLY connect this machine to a shop vacuum. A
wood dust collector is not designed for metal chips,
which may spark and cause a fire.
