Dust Collection
DO NOT operate the Model G0690 or G0691
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 Dust Port: 400 CFM
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 collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. 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 the dust port, as
shown in Figure 36, and tightly 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.
