How does the dust cup empty?
481737
The dust cup empties quite simply with a latch located on the bottom. You hold it over the trash can and release the latch and the bottom of the dust cup swings open on a hinge and the dust falls out. There is also a similar latch and hinge on the top end of the dust cup to allow access for easy clearing in the event that anything that might have become stuck inside. The removal of the dust cup from the vacuum cleaner is simple as well with a release located right on top where the handle for the dust cup is.

If you mean as to clear some debris or to unblock, forget it. It's pressure is way low for it...It's a duster, nothing more.

Hello Jim:The lid on the Dust Deputy snaps off. There is a second bucket inside the one bolted to the vac and you just lift it out. I guess you could put a bag inside, but you really don't need it.

The dust tray easily lifts up from the top of the sweeper! The sweeper comes with a metal tool that you use to clean the bottom brush! So easy!

I simply detach my dust bag and attach my shop vac to that port and it seems to get a lot of the dust but not totally. I have only used y smaller shop vac not my big one but I'm sure it will pull in the dust

The default dust collection could be more accurately called a 'dust sampler'. Pretty useless. On my saw, I removed the useless tiny plastic scoop thing and fabricated my own custom scoop out of thin cardboard and masking-tape. It actually looks rather like the scoop on the Festool Kapex, and works quite well, considering. Then i hook up my shopvac to the saw.

It's pretty easy. Just pull it out and shake it in the trash. I usually knock it against the side of the trash can a couple of times to remove the dust collection. Then just push it back in. Oh and based on the previous response, you push the button on the front to release the top collector. I usually have to pull it off, flip it over, then reach down and pull out the filter.

not really, i use an old toothbrush to clean it out when i empty the canister. you can buy the filters on Amazon as well and they arent too expensive. ive had mine for a few years now and cleaning it out like that ive only had to replace the filter once.

Step on the release button on the top of the base,lift off the base, hold it over a waste basket, then push the button that's on the handle and the dust bin opens. Hope this helps

Sadly, it will not dust at all. It also will not vacuum, polish the furniture, or do windows. Wish I had known that when I bought the thing. Way to pricey for an item with no ambition!

Dust cup is full, or the hose may be stopped up. I wouldn;t run it too much with the light on, for fear of burning up the motor.

Just got my Dust Deputy hooked up earlier this week. I cleaned the filter and collection bin in the shop vac before starting to use the Dust Deputy. The flow through the Dust Deputy is great. Almost nothing got into the shop vac collection bin. It is cool to see the heavier items spinning around inside the Dust Deputy while sweeping. As soon as you turn the shop vac off everything falls into the Dust Deputy bucket. I'm glad I got the Dust Deputy (Christmas gift that I specified).

emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter is a very easy 30-second job if you don't mind getting your hands dusty. The instructions explain how to do it.

The dust bin is transparent so you can see the debris inside it until emptied, which is easy to do. Once empty there can still be some dust and debris sticking to the surfaces inside of the bin, which is not easily accessible because it is attached to the unit. And there is no way to just flush it out with water.

I have removed the dust cover. There is a little plastic piece in the back which you would use to hold and lift the unit. You can pull it down and back, and it does snap out and you can clean the little filter. then snap cover back on. You will see where the little tabs are so you can reinsert properly.

I just run water and a towel or rag and clean the accumulated dust off. I let it air dry and stick it back on (steel case). Won't hurt anything.
