VACUUM PORT
The machine is provided with a vacuum port on the shroud (See Figure 25). Use a vacuum hose that
snugly fits either on the outside or the inside of the port. The outside diameter of the port is 2". The inside
diameter of the port is 1-3/4". This port will pick up dust but not all heavy or large particles.
Safety glasses need to be worn by operator and all people working around the equipment when
operating the machine
PROCEDURE
WARNING:
Make sure you are using the proper style of vacuum for what you are grinding,
scraping or sanding. Failure to do so could cause emissions of hazardous particulates or explosion
due to fine dust (ie, wood sanding), which is flammable. Make sure the system you are using complies
or exceeds OSHA recommended standard. Make sure the rubber dust guard is covering all the way to
the floor surface.

MOTOR AND OVERLOAD SWITCH
The powerful, 1-1/2'' HP sealed motor is protected by a thermal
overload switch. The overload switch is designed to cut out when
motor is over heated to avoid damage to the motor. If the overload is
tripped, let the machine rest and cool down. Push overload reset
button (See Figure 26). Restart machine.
Note:
Overload will not reset until the machine is properly cooled
down.
Note
: If the machine continues to overload, change to a less
aggressive plate.
