Dust collector help.

[Lefley]

Mine sits on the joists at 8ft instead of hanging from chains ,seems to work just fine at that height , put a bit of velcro on the remote and place in a handy location and get into the habit of keeping it there, i mislaid mine for several weeks and it was a pain in the bum to operate without the remote

I’ve already misplaced mine and I have not even ever turned it on

Suspend it in the 10' section using a couple lengths of climbers accessory cord (go outdoors, decathlon, or a proper supplier). That's very strong and if you use a pulleys or a couple of vine eye fittings you'll be able to lower it easily for weekly cleaning.
