if possible put the vac outside and connect thru an open window with an extension hose. Otherwise get an add-on fine filter for your vac. The dust can be phenomenal otherwise.

Yes it could be used for that purpose I use mine for all different kinds of things long as it will plug into it and a shop vac should it will turn it off and on.

probably, but not advisable. Better to use a pump or you can use a shop vac with the setting on 'blow'.

I don't know, but if I were you I wouldn't waste my money on it. I bought it to go with my vacuum, but I didn't think it worked worth a darn and don't use it.

DeWALT makes a "universal connector" to connect a shop vac hose, but it's hard to find. I simply taped a 1 1/2 shop vac hose to the shroud using heavy-duty duct tape. It worked fine, and was hanging on tight after I ground 580 sq ft of concrete. Probably would have stayed connected forever if I hadn't cut it off when I was done. I wouldn't bother with the special DeWALT connector, since its so hard to get and costs another $20 or so. Next time I have to use the dust shroud with a vacuum, I will just use some more duct tape!

Yes, there is a utility port on the right hand side to directly connect a vacuum hose. I use it to with my car kit as the unit is mounted in the garage. As far as the inlet/outlet, they must be behind the unit going into the wall, I don't see any outlets except for the utility one.

The outside diameter is 1 7/16 inch, so maybe it would fit inside the shop vac tube. You could measure. If you wanted a more permanent connection, even if the fit were a little off, you might use duct tape.

I'm not familiar with that vacuum cleaner. It does work on my Kirby vac and my shop vac.

Cathy, I have searched and tried to find this answer and have failed, but I would suggest going to https://www.shopvac.com/support/support.asp and submitting this question to Shop-Vac and then letting the world know. I am sorry that I only have another direction for you to meander in your search for truth. good luck - Baker

Probably. It comes with 2 adapters and if those don't work, I'm sure you can find one that would. Vacuum hoses are pretty standard sizes.

Overall, I'm not sure, however, if you have a Radio shack, take it to them, and they may help you find a universal adapter that may work. The main thing is to have the correct jack to go into the vacuum, and the correct power converter. I know this is general, but it will give you a start.

I believe it can, as I think vacuum system can be used. You just have to be able to connect the vacuum system with the unit and so, must have the appropriate connector. So, if you can use the same connector hose it will work fine.

A smaller shop vac would probably work fine, if you reduced the end of the hose for the vac to match the outlet for the dust bag. I do not think a large powerful vac would work as well as it would not draw enough air... but a smaller 5 gallon size should. Have not done this myself... I just take it outside and work there with a mask.

I don't know. But, it comes with an adapter that works with my small shop vac. The adapter will connect slips onto the hose and then you attach the Dyson fittings.

I would like to tell you yes, but I can't. If your vacuum has a 1 inch diameter port, it should work fine.

Yes. Make sure you don't overload this unit, like with a shop vac, etc or the circuit breaker will trip. Great unit.

It has a reducer on it that looks like it will adapt to almost any shop vac.... but I can't guarantee that it will fit every shop vac... sorry.
