W1772/W1773 37" Drum Sander
SET UP
Figure 17. Dust port locations.
Dust Collection
Recommended CFM at Sander: ................. 1600 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.
We recommend using a dust collection system that pro
-
duces a minimum of 2000 CFM. A fine layer of dust will
be present on your stock as it comes out of the sander.
This is normal.
To connect the dust ports to a dust collector, do these
steps:
1. Attach 4" dust collection hoses to the dust ports
shown in
Figure 17 and secure them with hose
clamps.
Before connecting to power, read through the
ELECTRICAL section on Page 11
to check that your
setup follows the safety and circuit requirements for this
machine. Be sure to also have your electrician on hand
for the "Test Run" in case the power is connected out of
phase (Model W1773 only).
To connect the sander to the power source, do these
steps:
1. Remove the screws securing the control panel and
lift off the face plate.
Power Connection
Attempting to connect this machine to
the power source without a qualified
electrician greatly increases the risk
of electrocution, fire, or machine
damage.
