Dust Collection
To connect a dust collection hose:
1. Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, as
shown in
Figure 17, and secure in place with
a hose clamp
.
2. Tug each hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
DO NOT operate the Model G0636X without
an adequate dust collection system. This
saw creates substantial amounts of wood
dust while operating. Failure to use a dust
collection system can result in short and
long-term respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at each Dust Port: 400
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 col
-
lector, (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 pur-
chase a good dust collection "how-to" book.
5. Adjust the positive stop bolt so it just touches
the table and secure it by tightening the jam
nut against the bandsaw.
6. Check the adjustment for accuracy once you
have tightened the jam nut.
7. Loosen the screw on the table tilt scale point-
er, but do not remove it.
8. Align the tip of the pointer with the 0˚ mark on
the table tilt scale, then tighten the screw to
secure the setting.

4. Raise the guide post and place a machinist’s
square on the table next to the side of the
blade as illustrated in
Figure 16. Adjust the
table square with the blade using the table tilt
handwheel, then secure with the table tilt lock
lever.
