The dust bag fits over the exhaust port on the upper
blade guard. To install the dust bag, remove the dust
guide from the exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two
metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide the
bag on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal
ring in the bag should lock in between the grooves on
the exhaust port. For more efficient operation, empty
the dust bag when no more than half full. This will
permit better air flow through the bag.
