Figure 9. Dust hose attached to dust port.
Dust Collection
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 100 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must take into account
many variables, including the CFM rating of the
dust collector, the length of hose between the
dust collector and the machine, the amount of
branches or wyes, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this cal
-
culation is beyond the scope of this manual. If
you are unsure of your system, consult an expert
or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.
Refer to Grizzly Model G2525 "Dust Collection
Basics."
To connect a dust collection hose:
1. Fit the 2" dust hose or adapter over the dust
port, as shown in
Figure 9, and secure in
place with a hose clamp
.
2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
DO NOT operate the Model G0456 disc sand-
er without an adequate dust collection sys
-
tem. Sanding creates substantial amounts
of fine dust. Failure to use a dust collection
system can result in short- and long-term
respiratory illness.
Test Run
Once the assembly is complete, test run the lathe
to make sure it runs properly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review the
Troubleshooting on Page 30.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
To test run the machine:
1. Plug the lathe into the power source.
2. Turn the speed dial to OFF, then lift the
paddle switch up to turn the lathe
ON.
3. Turn the speed dial to start the lathe spindle
motor. The spindle should rotate.
4. Listen to and watch for abnormal noises or
actions. The lathe should run smoothly with
little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
— Strange or unusual noises should be
investigated and corrected before operat-
ing the machine further. Always unplug the
machine when investigating or correcting
the machine.
5. Test the variable speed by slowly turning the
speed up, then down, once.
— The machine should have sped up and
slowed down as you moved the dial. If
it did, then the test run is over and your
machine is ready for normal operations.
—If the lathe had problems changing speeds,
refer to the
Troubleshooting chart on
Page 30, or call our Tech Support at (570)
546-9663 for additional help.
