Safety First
Fine sawdust from sanding your turning projects on your lathe is not only messy, it’s also a health risk that
should not be taken lightly. The Big Sweep Lathe Dust Catcher System is the perfect solution. It’s easy to install
and even easier to adjust to the exact position you need. It works with large or small projects and can be used
horizontally or vertically depending on your project shape. When not in use it can be quickly moved out of the
way so it does not interfere. Works on any size lathe with a unique clamp mounting system. Minimize the dust
and breathe a little easier using the Big Sweep Dust Catcher System

Step 1.
Part Idencaon
Layout out all of the parts and pieces that came with the
big sweep. Using the exploded parts view on the previous
page, idenfy each of the parts and the quanes. We
will be using the reference numbers in exploded parts
view throughout the instrucon process.
Step 2
Assemble the Track Mounng Blocks (22)
To do this, thread a Studded T-knob (24) into the upper
hole on one of the blocks as shown. Do not thread all
the way through. Next, thread a locking set screw (23)
into the lower hole as shown. Do not thread all the way
through. Once you are completed with the rst block,
repeat this process for the other two blocks.
Step 3
Install T-Track Mounng Blocks
Slide the T-Track Mounng Blocks (22) on to the single
sloed side of the Mounng Track (21) making sure that
each block is facing the same direcon as shown above.
Step 4
Aach the Track and Mounng Block Assembly
Please note that all lathes are dierent as far as shape.
The blocks are designed to slide along the track to adapt
to the shape of your lathe. Start at one end of the track
and secure the block to your lathe by ghtening the
Studded T-knob (24). Aach and secure the next block fol-
lowed by the third block. Lock the track in place by ght-
ening the Set Screws (23) with a philips head screw driver.
Step 5
Assemble the Lower Support Bracket Assembly.
A.Insert the 5/16” (16) bolt through the center hole of
the Tube Connector Clip (17) . A. Aach the Tube Connec-
tor Clip (17) to the Aluminum L Base (15) using the 5/16”
bolt (16) with washer (19) and 5/16” Round Knob (20). B.
Using a ¼”x 20x ¾” bolt (12), insert bolt as shown and se-
cure with ¼” x 20 Round Knob (2) and Washer (9). C. Next,
using a long ¼” x 20x 1” bolt (19), insert into clamp end of
the Tube Connector Clip, secure with a 1/4” x 20 knob (2).
D. Insert a T-bolt (14) into one of the holes on the Alumi-
num L Base at the boom, thread on with a 1/4”x20 (2)
round knob. Repeat this process (D) for the other hole at
the boom of the Base.

aach the c-connect clip (4) to the c-connect base (3) as
shown above. Adjust the ghtness of the locking nut so
that the c-connect clip pivots smoothly on the base.
Step 9
Aach C-Connect Base to 3/4” upper tube.
Please note that you can aach this to either side of the
upper tube depending upon your preference. Insert both
1/4”x20x1¼” (5) Bolts through the two center holes on
the c-connect base and take the c-connect assembly with
the two bolts and insert into the head on the 3/4” Upper

Step 12
Aach Hose and Hood
Place the Dust Hood and Hose assembly into the c-con-
nect base and clip assembly so that the dust hood mouth
is facing the same direcon as the at part of the c-con-
nect base. Secure c-connect clip with 1/4”x20x1½”(5)
bolt, washer (9) and 1/4”x20 round knob. Adjust the loca-
on of the dust hood so that the c-connect clip is clamp-
ing around the base of the dust hood rmly.
