SETUP
Recommended CFM at each 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
amountofbranchesorY's,andtheamountofotheropen
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.
Dust Collection

DO NOT operate this machine without an adequate
dust collection system. This machine creates substan-
tial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to
use a dust collection system can result in short and
long-term respiratory illness.
To connect the dust collection hoses, do these steps:
1. Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, as shown in
Figure 22, 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 perfor-
mance.
