Attach a short hose to the gun and attach the other end to a fitting on the lid of the bucket.
Attach the bag to a second fitting on the lid of the bucket.
The dust sucked up goes thru the gun, down the hose into the bucket with the filter keeping the fines from blowing out of the bucket.
When done put a new lid on the bucket if you want to save the media. Dispose of it in the appropriate manor if you don't.
In essence you are putting a collection bucket between the gun and the filter.
