Owner’s Manual
ROUSSEAU 5000 & 5000-L
Dust Solution
Always follow safety recommendations and guidelines provided by the
manufacturer of your tools. When in doubt refer to the applicable owner’s manual
or other instructions.
If using a folding stand make sure all legs are in contact with level ground or
floor and legs are extended until locked. Failure to do so could result in saw
movement or the collapse of the stand causing injury to the operator and/or
equipment.
Always keep hands clear of hinge, pinch and pivot points. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or loss of fingers.
Be sure saw is bolted securely to the stand or bench. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury to self, and/or damage to equipment.
Always adjust material supports and rollers to level with the bed of the miter
saw. Failure to do so could result in kickback, causing serious injury to self,
and/or damage to saw and/or stand. Use a hold down stick or clamp to hold
small pieces securely or kickback could cause serious injury to self, and/or
damage to saw and/or stand.
Use caution when removing your ROUSSEAU 5000 hood assembly from the
storage bag. It is spring loaded and will expand/spring to shape when removed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The ROUSSEAU 5000 mounts to two stanchion assemblies installed
separate from the saw on the work stand or bench supporting the miter
saw. Proper location of the stanchions will allow full use of the saw
features at all miter and bevel angles and will optimize the location of the
hood assembly. Thus maximizing dust collection.
2. Assemble the stanchion assemblies utilizing the four slotted stanchions
(#1), four 5/16” x 5/8” carriage bolts (#5) and four wing nuts (#4). Note this
assembly is adjustable. See Figure 1.
3. Locate the saw on the stand or work bench.
4. Install the stanchion assembly on the stand or bench using two 5/16 x 2”
carriage bolts (#2) and two 5/16” KEP nuts (#3). IMPORTANT: The
stanchion assemblies must be located so as to not interfere with the use of
the saw at any angle. Ideally the
location of the Stanchion
assemblies will allow the front
baffle of the 5000 hood to be
positioned parallel to the back
fence of the saw and the hood
opening (left to right) to be at least
36”. See illustrations of installation
positions.
5. Add a clamping knob (#8) and
a washer (#7) to each stanchion
assembly using the 5/16” x 1”
carriage bolts (#6). Leave loose
to allow attachment of the hood.
See Figure 2.
6. Attach the ROUSSEAU 5000 hood by inserting the Hoop Mount between
the clamping knob/washer and stanchion assembly. See Figure 2.
ADJUSTMENT
Positioning adjustments may be made by raising or lowering the height of the
stanchion assemblies. To maximize efficiency of the ROUSSEAU 5000 the front
baffle of the hood should be parallel to the back fence of the miter saw while
keeping the hood clear of the work pieces. The opening to the right and left of the
saw should be such as to allow adequate airflow into the hood to capture the fine
dust created when the saw blade engages the wood.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn on any powered dust collection system before operating saw.
If sawdust accumulates in base of hood, tap sides of hood to loosen dust,
allowing the dust to be pulled into the ROUSSEAU 5000 dust port.
Note: Poor dust collection may be
caused by the exhaust port on some saws
directing chips over the top of the hood.
See Figure 3.
The chips can be redirected into the hood
using the correct sized 45 degree angle fitting
for your specific saw. See Figure 4.
Your local hardware store, plumbing supply store or vacuum repair
shop has this part. This fitting should redirect the exhaust for better
collection while still allowing the chips, dust and air to flow freely.
