General

Regular periodic maintenance on your
Model W1727 will ensure its optimum performance. Make
a habit of inspecting your dust collector each time you
use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Worn or damaged switch, switch-safety key, electri-
cal cords and plugs.
• Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
• Loud rubbing, vibration or tapping noises coming
from motor or impeller housing.

Collector Bag Cleaning

The lower dust storage bag is intended to be cleaned by
simply emptying it.
To clean the collector bag, do these steps:
1. Put on your safety glasses and respirator.
2. Unlatch the retaining band clamp, and remove the
lower bag from the dust collector.
3. Position the bag over the garbage can, and gently
shake the collector bag to empty the sawdust.
4. Reinstall the bag on the dust collector.

Machine Cleaning

Put on your respirator and safety glasses and blow-off
sawdust with compressed air. Dust build-up around the
motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.

Maching Storage

Before placing the machine in storage, empty the dust
collection bag. Roll up the cord and secure it to the
machine so it cannot be damaged by nearby traffic.
Store the machine away from all heat sources, wet loca-
tions, and hazardous/flammable liquids.
