Dust Collection; Test Run - Grizzly EXTREME Series Owner's Manual

Dust Collection

DO NOT operate your jointer without an ade-
quate dust collection system. This machine
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.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
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 a dust collection hose:
Fit a 5" dust hose over the dust port, as
1.
shown in Figure 26, then secure it in place
with a hose clamp.

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly and is
ready for regular operation. The test run consists
of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers
up and runs correctly, 2) the stop button safety
feature works correctly, and, if equipped, 3) the
cutterhead brake works properly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration,
stop using the machine immediately, then review
Troubleshooting on Page 36.
If you cannot find a remedy, contact our Tech
Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
Before starting the jointer, make sure you
have performed the preceding assembly
and adjustment instructions, and you have
read through the rest of the manual and
are familiar with the various functions and
safety features on this machine. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or even death!
To test run the machine:
Make sure you understand the safety instruc-
1.
tions at the beginning of the manual and that
the machine is set up properly.
Make sure all tools and objects used during
2.
setup are cleared away from the machine.
Push the stop button in, then twist it clock-
3.
wise so it pops out. When the stop button
pops out, the switch is reset and ready for
operation (see Figures 27–28).
