G0677 24" Planer/Sander
Air Hose
To install the air line:
1. Connect the air inlet (Figure 15
)
on the regu-
lator to a compressed air line.

2. Make sure the red ON/OFF handle on the
regulator is in the
open
position.
3. Lift the regulator knob (Figure
s
15
&
16) and
rotate it until the gauge reads 75 PSI.
Note: Rotate the knob clockwise to increase
the air pressure and counterclockwise to
lower the air pressure.
4. Push the knob down until it snaps to lock it.

Dust Collection
An efficient and clean dust collection system is
essential to the proper function of the planer/
sander. Ensuring a healthy work environment is
also dependent upon cleaning and maintaining
your dust collection system. We recommend con-
necting this planer/sander to a cyclone dust col-
lector rather than a bag type dust collector, since
a cyclone will handle fine dust particles better and
experience fewer clogging problems.
DO NOT operate this machine without an
adequate dust collection system and a res-
pirator. This machine creates substantial
amounts of wood dust while operating.
Failure to use a dust collection system can
result in short and long-term respiratory ill-
ness.

attached to dust port.
Using 5" hose clamps, secure the hoses from
your dust collection system to the pre-installed
dust ports.

Recommended CFM @ Machine: 2500 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 col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
