G1032 Dust Collector
-11-
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Please review the safety rules if you are not sure
about the risks associated with operating this
machine. Turn on the power supply at the main
panel if not already on. Flip toggle switch on and
be ready to switch off just in case there is a prob-
lem. The dust collector should run smoothly and
be free of vibration or rubbing noises. Unusual or
strange sounds or symptoms must be investigat-
ed and the problem corrected before proceeding
further.
WARNING:
Make sure the G1032 is unplugged
and moving parts have come to a complete stop
before investigating any problems or performing
any maintenance or adjustments.
If everything is running smoothly, perform a test
of the dust collector. Ensure that the collector
picks up sawdust freely and easily. If it does not,
review the assembly process and your duct sys-
tem.
Test Run
Set Up
The G1032 dust collectors can be either operat-
ed as mobile or stationary units. There are advan-
tages and disadvantages to both systems. The
primary advantage of a mobile system is low
expense of ducts and fittings. On the other hand
a stationary system is more versatile and conve-
nient.
You may wish to locate your dust collector away
from the work area in an adjacent room or closet.
If you do locate the dust collector in an adjacent
room by running a duct through the wall, be sure
there are no open flames and/or gas appliances
with pilot lights. There is a risk of explosion if dust
is dispersed into the air. You must also ensure
that the volume of air entering the room or closet
is properly vented back into the workshop.
IMPORTANT:
The maximum size and extent of
any particular stationary system is limited and
dependent upon the size and power of the dust
collector.
WARNING:
Ensure that all duct work is ground-
ed to discharge the build-up of static electricity,
particularly if using a plastic duct system. See
