Dust and Water
Traps
Two collection traps on this planer/sander need
to be emptied when they become half full. One
water trap is attached to the bottom of the air
regulator, and one dust trap is attached on the
air diaphragm assembly. DO NOT allow the water
trap and dust bowls to become full.
Dust Trap: To empty the dust trap bowl, TURN
OFF AIR PRESSURE, allow air pressure to bleed
out, then unscrew and empty the bowl (Figure
45).

moisture filters yearly.

Air System
The air system is durable and reliable; however,
components do wear with age. If you suspect that
an item in your air system may be having prob-
lems, see the Air System Diagram on
•
Adjust regulator to 75 PSI.
•
Carefully inspect all air lines for cracks, chaf-
ing or hardening. Replace faulty hoses.
•
Check the air connections for leaks. A small
amount of soapy water in a questionable area
will bubble if there is a leak.
•
Make sure lines are not clogged. Remove
a questionable line and blow through it as a
test.
