Model W1687 (For Machines Mfg. Since 9/11)
General
The Model W1687 can be operated as either a stationary
or a mobile unit. There are advantages and disadvantages
to both set-ups. The advantage of the mobile system is
eliminating the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the
other hand, the stationary system is more versatile and
convenient.
If using this machine as a central dust collector system,
put the dust collector in an out of the way location
such as a corner or separate room. The dust collector
is capable of collecting dust from up to four machines
running simultaneously. Shop Fox offers a complete line
of dust collection accessories for setting up a stationary
system.
Whatever system you choose, always make sure there
are no open flames or pilot lights in the same room as
the dust collector. There is a risk of explosion if dust is
dispersed into the air.

understanding that the operator has the necessary

Basic.Operation
Operating the Model W1687 is simple and straightforward.
Turn the dust collector ON, then turn the machine ON.
When you are finished with the machine operation, turn

Blast gates can be used at the start of each branch line to
control the air flow from the woodworking machine to the
dust collector. If a machine is not being used, keep the
blast gate closed to maintain higher levels of efficiency
throughout the system.
