MOTOR
Motors used in woodworking environments
are constantly exposed to sawdust and
wood chips. The operator should make
frequent inspections of the motor and
remove, or vacuum any accumulations of
foreign material in order to maintain normal
motor ventilation.
Remove the dust from the motor with a low
pressure air hose.
CAUTION: The operator should follow all
safety procedures regarding dust particles
and always wear safety glasses and a filter
mask during any cleaning operation.
DUST BAGS: UPPER & LOWER
Each operator has his own particular
application for woodworking machinery. As
such, a maintenance schedule for the dust
collector must be performed on a regular
and timely basis.
To remove dust and chips:
1. Disconnect the machine from its power
source.
2. Shake the upper dust bag and allow the
fine dust to settle down into the lower
collection bag.
