Dust Collection
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 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.
To connect a dust collection hose:
1. Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, as
shown in
Figure 21, 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 this bandsaw without an
adequate dust collection system. This saw
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. Failure to use a dust collec
-
tion system can result in short and long-term
respiratory illness.
3. Attach the dust hoses to a dust collector.
