MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and
permanently lubricated, simply leave them
alone until they need to be replaced. Do
not lubricate them.
Empty the collection drum when it is no more than
3
⁄4
full. If the drum is overfilled, dust will be sucked into the
inlet cylinder and pass through to the filter.
How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the type of
work being done at that time.
A machine that produces fine dust, such as a sander or
table saw, will slowly fill the drum.
A machine that produces curly shavings, such as a planer
or jointer, will quickly fill the drum.
In the beginning, check your drum regularly to get an idea
of how often it needs to be emptied.
Emptying Drum
