SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Dust collector is completely powered down at
the end of use.
• Dust collection drum or bag leaks.
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Suction leaks.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other condition that would hamper the
safe and efficient operation of this machine.

Emptying Drum

Empty the collection drum when it is approximately
⁄ full. If the drum becomes overfilled, the dust

will be sucked into the intake barrel and passed
through to the canister filter.
How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the
type of work being done at the time:
•
Fine dust from a sander or table saw will
slowly fill the drums.
• Curly shavings from a planer or jointer will
quickly fill the drums.
When first using the dust collector, check the
drum regularly to get an idea of how often it needs
to be emptied.

Cleaning Filter

The Model G0777/G0777HEP dust collector has a
crank handle-driven filter flap system (see Figure
73) for removing any built-up dust and debris from
the filter pleats.

for cleaning canister filters (G0777 shown).
To clean the filter, rotate the crank handle a few
turns in one direction. The caked-on dust and
debris will fall into the plastic bag below.
For a more thorough cleaning every few months
under heavy use, remove the filter from the dust
collector (see Page 46) and rinse it with warm
water. Allow the filters to air dry only. Do not leave
the filters in the sun to dry or apply heat to speed
the process; heat exposure can damage your
filters.
To avoid damage to your
eyes and lungs, always
wear safety glasses and
a respirator when working
with the dust collection
bags or canisters.
