The dust bag fits over the exhaust port on the upper
blade guard. To install it, remove the dust guide from
the exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two metal clips to
open the mouth of the bag and slide it 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 dust bag
when no more than half full. This will permit better air
flow through the bag.
