SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal
injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Dust collector is completely powered down at
the end of use.
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch or wires.
• Any other condition that would hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
• Empty the lower collection bags before they
become completely full.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Bag Cleaning
Empty the lower collection bags on a regular
basis to maintain dust collection efficiency.
Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust
mask and safety glasses when emptying the col-
lection bags. Small dust particles can escape the
bags during emptying, causing them to become
airborne and easily inhaled. This microscopic air-
borne dust is extremely unhealthy to breathe and
can cause serious health problems.
While the Model G0508 excels at collecting the
majority of wood dust produced by your machines,
we always recommend the supplemental aid of a
shop air filter such as the Grizzly G5955, G9956,
or G0572 (see
Page 27
). Air filters are designed
to collect the smaller dust particles that a dust col-
lector bags cannot trap.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
All dust collectors dis-
perse fine dust which may
cause allergic reactions
or respiratory problems.
Always wear a respirator
when operating your dust
collector.
