When unpacking, make sure that all of
the standard equipment is present
and that there is no transportation
damage.
Before performing any work on the
machine itself, disconnect the power
plug.
 Attaching The Dust Extractor
Hose
Insert hose 26 into port 2 and twist
until it clicks (Fig. 2). The canister’s 2-
1/4” hose port also accepts many
friction-fit dust extractor hoses,
including most 1-1/4” hoses, 1-1/2”
hoses, 2-1/2” hoses and other Bosch
hoses. (See ‘Attachments’, page 17 and
18).
 ATTACHING THE Y-CONNECTOR
The Y-connector (sold separately) has a
main connector sleeve to fit the dust
extractor port and has two (2) sleeve fit
connectors for dust extractor hoses.
Insert the main connector sleeve of Y-
connector into the dust extractor port
the same way as inserting the hose (see
above).
Insert each dust extractor hose into the
sleeve fit of the Y connector by twisting
the hose connector.
 Dust Collection Options
There are four dust collection
options: fully enclosed filter bag, fully
enclosed wet slurry bag, plastic bag
or no bag.
A filter must be installed whether or
not a bag is used.
Assembly and Preparation
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
assembly, adjustments or changing attachments. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
