This posting is the next step in the evolution from two earlier threads: (1) the messy discovery that I needed the plug when the hose is disconnected (I tipped the machine down), and (2) the recent RRP lead dust control rules.
Now that my consciousness has been raised about controlling lead dust, in addition to all dust, I've noticed that while the CT-22 does an excellent job of collecting dust, it sprays the stuff all over the place when I remove the hose and store it in the hose garage. I even tried straightening the hose and holding it up with the vacuum on. But there is still a pile of dust on the floor when I disconnect the hose.
This really undermines the whole control-of-dust concept.
Historically in these situations, the problem is the result of me not knowing how to use the tool properly. Can anyone point me at better instructions than the user manual? Is it possible that this isn't a user error situation?
Thanks.
