Model G0866 (Mfd. Since 11/18)
Dust Collection
To connect dust collection system to machine:
1. Fit a 5" dust hose over each dust port, and
secure them in place with hose clamps (see
Figure 38).
Minimum CFM for Model G0866: 3600 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 collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
This machine creates a lot of wood chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne
dust on a regular basis can result in perma-
nent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk
by wearing a respirator and capturing the
dust with a dust-collection system.

2. Tug each hose to make sure it does not come
off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per-
formance.

— If gearbox oil level is below sight glass
level, refer to
Lubrication on Page 43 to
add gear oil.
14. Place 2x4 across one side of conveyer table
so it spans both front and rear pressure roll-
ers (see
Figure 36).

roller height.
15. Manually raise conveyer table and verify that
board touches both pressure rollers before
touching sanding belt.
16. Repeat Steps 14–15 on other side of con-
veyor belt.
Note: If board did not touch both pressure
rollers before touching sanding belt on either
side, or if board was difficult to place between
rollers and table, then pressure rollers MUST
be adjusted before operation. See
Page 58
for instructions.
17. Check sight glass shown in Figure 37 to
make sure gear oil is present.
