Dust Collection
Dust Collection
DO NOT operate this bandsaw without an ade-
quate dust collection system. This bandsaw
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:
1.
Fit the dust hose over the dust port, as shown
in Figure 25, and secure it in place with a
hose clamp.
2.
Gently pull the hose to make sure it does not
come off. A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.

Power Connection
After you have completed all previous setup
instructions and circuit requirements, the machine
is ready to be connected to the power supply.
To avoid unexpected startups or property dam-
age, use the following steps whenever connecting
or disconnecting the machine.
Connecting Power
1. Turn the machine power switch OFF.
2. Insert the power cord plug into a matching
power supply receptacle. The machine is
now connected to the power source.
Figure 26. Connecting power.
Disconnecting Power
1. Turn the machine power switch OFF.
2. Grasp the molded plug and pull it completely
out of the receptacle. Do not pull by the cord
as this may damage the wires inside.
