Attach the dust bag onto the dust spout. The dust spout
is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the
dust spout firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from
coming off during operation.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
