Dust Collection; Fence; Miter Gauge - Shop fox W1749 Owner's Manual

Dust Collection

DO NOT operate this bandsaw 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: ...................... 150
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rat-
ing of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the
dust port, you must take into account many variables,
including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length
of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the
amount of branches or wyes, and the amount of other
open lines throughout the system. Explaining this calcula-
tion 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.
To connect a dust collection hose, do these steps:
1. Fit a 2
⁄ " dust hose over the dust port, as shown in

Figure 22, and secure in place with a hose clamp.
2. Pull the hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.
3. Attach the dust hose to a dust collector.

Fence

To mount the fence, do these steps:
1. Flip the fence lever up, slide the fence over the left
side of the table and secure the lever as shown in
Figure 23.

Miter Gauge
