Minimum CFM at Dust Port:
• SB1108: 400 CFM
• SB1109: 600 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.
Dust Collection
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.
To connect machine to a dust collector:
1.
For SB1108, fit a 4" dust hose (SB1109
requires 5" dust hose) that is connected to a
dust collector over dust port (see Figure 22),
and secure in place with a hose clamp.
2.
Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note:
A tight fit is necessary and ensures
proper performance during operation.
