•	Over	2”	of	vertical	adjustment
•	Flexible	to	-20	degrees	and	will	not	crack

HOW TO ASSEMBLY:
DISCONNECT	YOUR	GRINDER	FROM	ITS	POWER	SOURCE
1.	If	necessary,	put	the	 ADAPTER	RING	(1)	over	the	BEARING		 HOUSING	(2)	
of	the	grinder.	The	stretchable	adapter	ring	will	not	be	needed	on	BEARING	
HOUSINGS	(2)	less	than	2.5”	in	diameter.	
2.	Trim	the	FINGERS	(3)	so	the	SKIRT 	(4)	of	the	Dust	Collector	extends	1/16	to	
1/8	“	below	the	face	of	the	ABRASIVE	DISC	(5).	The	SKIRT	(4)	of	the	Dust	
Collector	should	touch	the	work	slightly	before	the	 ABRASIVE	DISC	(5).	The	
easiest	way	to	trim	the	FINGERS	(3)	is	with		scissors.
3.	Place	the	HOSE	CLAMP 	(6)	over	the	FINGERS	(3)	of	the	Dust	Collector.	Put	
the	FINGERS	(3)	of	the	Dust	Collector	over	the	BEARING	HOUSING	(2)	or	
the	ADAPTER	RING	(1)	(if	it	is	used)	and	tighten	the	Dust	Collector	so	that	
the	EXHAUST 	PORT	(7)		is	facing	toward	the	handle	of	the	grinder.
