Dust Collection
DO NOT operate the Model G0820 without an
adequate dust collection system. This saw
creates substantial amounts of wood dust
while operating. Failure to use a dust collec-
tion system can result in short and long-term
respiratory illness.

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect saw to dust collection system:
1.
Secure 5" dust hose to port located under
table with hose clamp, as shown in Figure 55.
