Dust Collection Kits
Dust Collection Kits are recommended if the tool will be used in an enclosed area. They include discharge tubing
and a hose roller system to hold the outboard end of the tubing. For saws, the kits also include new blade guards
that have a 2” (50.8mm) hose connection.
Dust collection components (not including a vacuum source) are standard on the Models 7400 and 7400XL.
The dust hose must be attached to an SSC Vacuum or to any high-pressure vacuum source that provides at least
90” to 110” of static pressure and 100 CFM.
CE certified machines come standard with the hose connection on the blade guard.
Installation
Refer to Figure 39.
CAUTION:
Before beginning installation, disconnect the power supply to the motor,
raise the carriage to the top of the guides, and lock the carriage in place with
the lock knob.
CAUTION:
Be sure the tool frame is securely supported and cannot be tipped over
during this installation procedure. An additional person should support and
stabilize the frame at all times during the installation.
Figure 39: Installing the Dust Collection Kit on a Saw
1. On saws, remove the blade guard and replace it with the new guard that has a 2” (50.8mm) steel tube
connector.
2. Insert the clear plastic inner tube into the blade guard, and align the tube’s slot with the inner tab. Slide the
tube further in (the slot will fit around the blade), until it is as close to the work piece as possible. Tighten the
clamp to hold the inner tube in place.
3. Mount the hose rollers to the top of the frame.
4. Lay the 1
