MAINTENANCE
CLEANING DUST CHUTE
See Figure 72.
This saw features a dust chute for convenience in discharging
sawdust. A standard shop vac can be attached to the chute,
located under the back side of the saw.
During periods of extended use, the dust chute should be
emptied and cleaned to prevent buildup of sawdust and to
make sure there are no obstructions or other small offcuts
that may have fallen into the throat plate opening that could
hinder maximum performance.
