Routing with Dust Control
5.8.1
The following applies the Router’s with the Dust Control Router. As you begin to route, the dust that
is sucked up from the cutter head shroud enters the cyclone where a majority of the debris is spun
out of the air stream and deposited in the large particle dust collection bin. The amount of time or
distance that can be routed before the large particle dust collection bin will need to be emptied will
vary depending on the condition of the asphalt, approximately 500 to 1000 feet (150 to 300 meters).
If you have ordered the Dust Control Retrofit Kit (PN 31550K) please see the separate installation
instructions provided.

Step
Action
WARNING
Never operate the unit without all the dust control components attached, in particular
the cutter head dust shroud. This could cause injury or damage from flying debris.
1
When beginning a routing operation, check the large particle dust collection bin
frequently to gauge the distance that can be routed before empting the large particle
dust collection bin. The large particle dust collection bin should be emptied at
approximately 3/4 to 7/8 full.
CAUTION
If the large particle dust collection bin becomes overfilled the debris will be sucked up
through the cyclone and deposited in the dust collection bag, reducing the run time of
the dust collection bag.
2
To empty the large particle dust collection bin, reduce engine speed to idle.
3
Support the bottom of the large particle dust collection bin with one hand, keeping the
bin pressed up firmly against the mounting bracket.
4
With your other hand, unlatch the rubber latches on the large particle dust collection
bin.
CAUTION
The large particle dust collection bin weighs approximately 30 lbs. when full
5
Dump the large particle dust collection bin in a larger receptacle where it can be
disposed of properly at a later time.
6
Reattach the large particle dust collection bin to the mounting bracket.
7
Lightly tap sides of the dust collection bag with your hands.
Note:
During router operation, what dust isn’t spun out by the cyclone, enters the
dust collection bag. This dust forms a “Dust Cake” on the inside wall of the dust
collection bag and will restrict the amount of air that can escape through the dust
collection bag, reducing the overall suction of the system. Tapping on the side of the
dust collection bag will knock this dust cake loose from the sides of the dust collection
bag, increasing the amount of time that can be routed before the dust collection bag
will need to be serviced. (see Section
8
Return engine to high speed and continue routing.
