17. Use suitable pliers to bend a tab over the
clamp nut (4) toward the housing. Crimp
both the tabs flat in order to hold the rack
(3) and clamp to the strap. (See Figure 7.)
18. Install the filter hood (1) over the main
housing (5) so that the hemmed bottom of
the filter hood (containing the metal strap
you just installed) fits between the two
rolled ribs of the housing. Turn the filter
hood so the strap clamp is centered at the
back of the housing and the filter hood’s
stripes are aligned with the legs’ stripes.
19. Tighten the retaining strap assembly se-
curely with a large blade flathead screw-
driver.
Note
Be sure you tighten the strap between the
two ribs on the main housing. If the strap is
tightened over a rib, the filter hood will
loosen and blow off the Dust Collector.
Install Bag
20. To install the bag, open the bag (30) and
position it under the main housing (5).
Starting from the front, push the bag under
the front clip (28) and take up the slack in
the bag as you push the edge of the bag
under each clip on both sides. The bag’s
excess should be neatly folded at the back
of the housing.
21. Install the plastic retaining strap assembly
(29), but do not firmly clamp it yet.
22. Check around the circumference of the
housing lip, and adjust the bag as needed
to get a good fit. Remember to gather the
excess to the back of the housing and fold
it as flat as you can. When all is snug,
engage the clamp on the plastic retaining
strap.
Hook Up the Dust Collector
23. Plug the male socket trailing from the
back of the housing into the female socket
located on the leg. You will hear a “click”
when they are properly seated.
24. Place the Dust Collector behind power
equipment. Connect however many hoses
you are going to be using to the 3-way
inlet (25) and to the dust chute{s) on power
equipment.
25. For each inlet you are not currently using,
push an inlet plug (50) with a cap (51) into
the open inlet.
26. Plug the Dust Collector into a wall socket.
Refer to the section, “Electrical Require-
ments.”
Using the Dust Collector
What NOT to Pick Up
The Dust Collector will help you keep a virtu-
ally dust-free workshop. You’ll breathe less
dust, have a cleaner and safer shop, and elimi-
nate the tracking of dust and shavings to other
areas.
When the Dust Collector is attached to wood-
working equipment by the hoses, there is no
occasion for large scraps to be sucked into the
blower. However, when sweeping the floor
and cleaning up, pick up large wood scraps
before you use the dust collector.
Just remember that all materials “picked up”
pass through the fan and fan housing. While
the fan will not be damaged by small scraps
which you may occasionally pick up, it is not
advisable to make a practice of picking up
larger scraps. They will be drawn into the fan
and be struck at high velocity by the fan
blades and flung against the fan housing with
