Dust Hood
When connected to a dust collection system, the
dust hood directs suction to remove harmful
wood and abrasive dust from your work area.
For additional information on the correct dust
collection system, additions, or modifications;
contact your Woodstock International dealer for
your copy of the
Dust Collection Basics hand-
book and available accessories.
To connect dust hood, do these steps:
1.
Locate your dust edge sander where it will be
used
2.
Connect your dust collection suction tube to
the dust port, so when you tilt the platen
from the vertical to the horizontal position,
the suction tube will not bind, leak, or dis-
connect the dust-collector ducting ground.
