NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into collector.
1.) Use 10 gal. or smaller drum size.
2.) Dump drum after each use.
3.) Ground system. (See pg. 4)
The Dust Deputy is made from static dissipating plastic.Additional grounding is
recommended for increased safety. See grounding instructions.
Keep fire extinguishers handy at all times.
Can be used for collecting non-flammable liquids.
NEVER leave wood dust in a building or vehicle.
Always read your shop vacuum owner’s manual for safety procedures
regarding the operation of your shop vacuum.

TheDustDeputyismadeofstaticdissipatingplastic.
These are the minimum parts you will need to acquire to use the Dust Deputy:
- 2” - 2 1/4” dia. Vacuum Hose to go between the Dust Deputy outlet and
your Shop Vacuum.
- (6) 1/4” x 1” bolts with nuts and washers.
-Any suitable sealant (e.g.- Silicone) to use between the cyclone base
flange and the top of your dust container.Any air leak between the
cyclone and lid will affect separation performance. You should also seal
the inlet and outlet hose connections.
- Vacuum Hose to attach to Dust Deputy inlet and your tools.
- Shop Vacuum
- Dust drum or container that will withstand the vacuum pressure (We
recommend at least a 90 mil side thickness otherwise the container may
collapse when in use.) and has a lid that can be tightly sealed. (e.g.- 5 gal.
plastic drywall bucket) Drum must be 100% air tight.
Any air leak in lid or drum will affect separation performance.
For wood dust use a smaller container (up to 10 gal.)
To reduce the chance of fire hazard, empty container after each use.

inlet to your tools or use hose by itself to pick up waste.
7. Put bolts through washer and cyclone base then fasten with nuts under drum lid.
6. Spread even layer of sealant between center hole and bolt
holes on drum lid. (See above diagram.) You must have a
complete seal between cyclone and drum lid or performance will be affected.
5. Use 5/16” drill bit to drill bolt holes.
4. Draw 3” dia. circle for drum inlet. Carefully cut out
3” hole in lid.

X.Troubleshooting
ToPreventTippingProblems
ToPreventHosePullOff
Dust Deputy not separating well. (Only a tiny amount of dust should reach the
vacuum.)
Position one of the vac wheels directly under the
5 gal. pail to increase the center of gravity.
Wrap the inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy with a layer of electrical tape
to increase the friction fit.
Secure with a hose clamp.
Secure with a sheet metal screw.
Position a weight (eg. brick) on the opposite side
of the vac from the 5 gal. pail to counter-balance
the pail.
Attach the 5 gal. pail to the vacuum and add a
caster to the bottom of the pail for support and
mobility..
Low air volume.
Material swirls in cyclone and won’t drop down into drum.
Material swirls in cyclone and won’t drop down into drum.
Hose connections not tight.
Air leak. Check cyclone flange / drum lid / barrel. Even small leaks
will affect performance.
Vacuum filter clogged. Blockage in hose.
Air leak in bottom of cyclone / drum lid or dust drum.
Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut off air flow to
drop material down.
Due to the varied hose diameters, flexible couplers
can be used. They are available at local hardware
stores in the plumbing section.
Some models of vacs with a short wheel base can become sligthly unstable
with the addition of a 5 gal. pail. To prevent this you can do the following:
The inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy are shouldered and tapered to adapt
to a range of vac hose sizes. If on your model the friction fit isn’t as tight as
needed you can do the following:

1. With a Phillips head screwdriver, attach
the two rubber latches, one on either side of
the dust collection box using the (4) 10 x 32
x 1” machine screws included
in the hardware pack. Make sure
that the handle of the latch curves
downward when attached or when
in the up position it points out.
3. Put Gasket on box top making sure gasket holes
line up with bolt holes in top.

2. Take the provided length of gasket, peel the
protective backing off of the gasket and carefully
place the gasket flat around the underside of the
box top as shown in the picture.
It is very important that there are no gaps in the
gasket where the ends meet. Make sure they
are butted together!
4. With a Phillips head screwdriver, attach
the Cyclone with the (6) provided 1/4”x 20

VIII.PossibleWaystoAttachDustDeputyDeluxetoShopVacuums
You may want to attach your Dust Deputy
to your shop vacuum for mobility, conve-
nience or stability. There is no definitive
way to attach the Dust Deputy to a shop
vacuum. It will vary with vacuum type and
intended use. These are just a few exam-
ples of possible ways it may be done.
Some vacuums may only require one foam
block to attach the bucket. This may be
determined by vacuum body shape.
Cut the provided foam block in half. Drill
two 1/4” holes through bucket, blocks
and vacuum as shown, then using
provided long bolts, washers and nuts,
attach bucket to vac.
Cut the provided foam block to size. Drill two
1/4” holes through bucket, blocks and vacuum
as shown, then using provided long bolts,
washers and nuts, attach bucket to vac.
The mounting is only limited by your
imagination.
Use the foam blocks as spacers
between the vac and bucket then put
the assembled Dust Deputy into the at-
tached bucket to hold it securely to the
vacuum.Attach the appropriate hoses
and you’re ready to go.
Use the foam block as upper spacer between
the vac and bucket then put the assembled
Dust Deputy into the attached bucket to hold
it securely to the vacuum.Attach the appropri-
ate hoses and you’re ready to go.
To prevent tipping problems,
please see pg. 13 in this manual.
Attach vacuum hose elbow
with valve to vacuum as
shown in Fig. 5. Push in-
cluded plastic tubing into 1/4”
tubing elbow. (Fig. 1)
Push other end of tubing into
1/4” tubing valve. (Fig. 2)
Tubing can be cut to desired
length.
To remove tubing from valve,
you must push end of valve
in to release the grip. See ar-
row in Fig. 2. Ensure valve is
open when using bags. Valve
shown in open position.
Place included filter into han-
dle space of top valve inside
of box. (Fig. 3) This prevents
bag from being sucked into
valve and prevents dust from
entering valve if used without
bag.
Place bag into box, tucking
into corners and folding top of
bag over top of box. (Fig. 4)
Fig.1
Fig.2
Fig.3
Fig.4 If you want to run the Dust Deputy
without the bag, you must shut the
valve by turning the valve handle
90 degrees. The system must be
air-tight to operate properly. Fig.6
shows valve in open position.
Note: Before resuming using
plastic bags you must vacuum
off the foam filter (Fig. 3) so air
flow is not restricted.
Place top on box and latch down,
attach your hoses to the Dust
Deputy inlet and outlet and you’re
ready to go! (Fig.5)
