Dust Collection
Minimum CFM at each Dust Port: 400 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 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 purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect dust collection system to
machine:
1.
Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, and
secure them in place with hose clamps (see
Figure 23).
Note:
For best results, connect free ends of
hoses to a 4" Y-fitting and secure with hose
clamps, then connect fitting to your dust
collection system. See Accessories, beginning
on Page 51, for more information.
2.
Tug hoses to make sure they do not come off.
Note:
A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust
on a regular basis can result in permanent
respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by
wearing a respirator and capturing the dust
with a dust-collection system.
