Dust Extraction (Fig. K, L) Your saw has a built-in dust port 22 which allows either the supplied dust bag 25 or a shop vacuum system to be connected. The built-in dust port utilizes the DeWALT AirLock connection making it compatible with the DeWALT dust extractors. To Attach a Dust Extractor (Fig. K) Your DeWALT circular saw is fitted with the DeWALT AirLock® connection system. The AirLock® allows for a fast, secure connection between the dust extractor and power tool. The AirLock® connector 23 connects directly to DeWALT compatible tools. 1.

Push the AirLock® connector onto the adapter connector point. To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. L) 1. While holding the saw, turn the collar 26 counterclockwise to unlock the dust bag 25 . 2.
