Abstract
An improved dust collector for a power tool is employed. The dust collector includes a main body and a first nozzle portion connected to the main body, wherein the first nozzle portion is disposable on the power tool so that, when the main body receives saw dust, a substantial portion of the saw dust travels through the first nozzle portion. Preferably, the main body has a wide front inlet and a rear portion narrower than the front inlet. The main body may also have top, bottom and side walls connecting the front inlet to the rear portion. The first nozzle portion is preferably connected to the bottom wall. A second nozzle portion may also be connected to the rear portion of the main body.
