    Clear collection bag on HF 2HP dust collector

    Hi...does anyone know a good way to mount the lower (clear) bag? There are no instructions...there are three clips on the side but the bag wont stay under them to tighten the band clamp. Can someone give me a clue? Thanks!!

    Lynn,
    I think the clips are just supposed to hold it in place while you then put the clamp around the groove in the bottom. I just took a snap of mine.

    Temporarily holding it on with masking tape while putting on the clamp works too.

    They are pretty worthless. One of mine is bent so doesn't work anyway.

    Takes three hands and some pretty nasty language but it can be done The little hook thingies are useless IMO. Alan nailed. Tape is your friend.

    Masking tape (already suggested) works well, as do rare earth magnets

    Exactly what I use.
    One purchase helps keep HF in business, the other helps keep LV in business.
     Those two outcomes have different values for me. - Chuck Nickerson
