You will need cut a hole bigger than the extractor oval and affix the vacuum cleaner adapter about 5cm below the rim of an empty 20L paint drum with a suitable adhesive or screw it fast. Then in the centre of the lid of a the drum you would make a hole and insert the vacuuming side of the workshop vacuum hose.
Insert a 30mm diameter vacuum hose onto the cyclone adaptor which will cause the air to spin in the 20Litre Drum. The vacuum from the centre of the plastic drum can be used to vacuum up Workshop sawdust and debris before it gets to the vaccum cleaner. The dust will accumulate in the centre of the plastic drum which can be emptied when it has reached half to 3/4 full.
