1. Align arrows in separator canister Top (B) and
Separator Canister Bottom (C) and snap pieces
together to create the full canister. Fig. 1.
2. Insert the five casters (H) into the corresponding
sockets on the bottom of the canister. Fig. 2.
3. Position the lower Chip Separator Ports (G) underneath
the lid with the indents on the Lower Port aligned with
the indents on the lid. Fig. 3. Be sure the Lower Ports
are pointing in opposite directions. Fig. 4. Then
Thread the Upper Chip Separator Port (F) to the
Lower Port (G), sandwiching the lid (A) in between.
4. Secure the Separator Lid (A) to canister by aligning
the lid tab with any one of the 3 tab cutouts in the
Canister’s top rim. Rotate clockwise to secure,
reverse to remove. Fig. 5.

in the open Separator port, and attach the other end
to your power tool dust port or a shop cleanup
handle/wand. Fig. 7.
Tip: Some shop vac hose fittings are slightly under
21⁄4". In this case a couple wraps of tape will make
a tighter fit. Fig. 8.

Separator bucket. Fig. 9.
Dust Right®Separator Troubleshooting
Too much dust and dirt is getting to your
vacuum’s filter:
1. Small amounts of dust and fine dust will appear in
your vacuum’s filter. This is normal.

2. Check for air leaks. Even a small leak can
affect performance.
3. Check to make sure debris has not collected above
the fill line in the canister.
Suction power seems lower than it should:
1. Check for clogs in your hoses.
2. Make sure you start with a clean filter.
