DO NOT operate the Model W1755 without an ade-
quate dust collection system. This machine creates
substantial amounts of wood dust while operating.
Failure to use a dust collection system can result in
short and long-term respiratory illness.
Assemble the knife setting jig as shown in Figure 25

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 take into account many variables, includ
-
ing the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of
hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open
lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation
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.
