Dust Collection
DO NOT operate the Model G0449/G0450
without an adequate dust collection system.
This sander creates substantial amounts of
wood dust while operating. Failure to use a
dust collection system can result in short
and long-term respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at Sander: 1600 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine
the CFM at the dust port, you must consider
these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust col-
lector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number
of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other
open lines throughout the system. Explaining
how to calculate these variables is beyond the
scope of this manual. Consult an expert or pur-
chase a good dust collection "how-to" book.
Mounting to Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with
3
⁄
8
" lag bolts or anchor
studs ( Figure 14) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

Bolting to Wood Floors
The most secure method of mounting this drum
sander to a wood floor is using
3
⁄
8
" hex bolts with
flat washers, and securing the bolts from under
the floor with flat washers, lock washers and hex
nuts, as shown in
Figure 15. Use lag bolts with
washers only if you do not have access to the
underside of the floor.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine at a later
point.

We recommend using a dust collection system
that produces a minimum of 1600 CFM. A fine
layer of dust will be present on your stock as it
comes out of the sander. This is normal.
