Fine dust clogging the filter
SOlutiOn
1. The lid of the dust drum must be in place, have a foam seal, and be well seated
when operating the dust collector.
2. Make sure flex hose is not torn and the hose clamps are tight.
3. Check for holes or leaks in the dust barrel.
1. Check wire connections.
2. Check motor rotation.
3. Check breaker box to make sure power supply is correct for motor.
1. Check length of duct runs, duct diameters, and hood design compared to ductwork
design guidance.
2. Make sure all ductwork is sealed. Large air losses will occur even through small
cracks in the ductwork. Use silicone, duct tape or duct mastic compound as a
sealant.
3. Check for air leaks between collector and dust drum.
4. Close all unused blast gates at your woodworking machines.
5. Check for a restricted pipe, too small a hood port, or too small a branch line.
6. Be sure that your filter is clean.
1. Check for a leak in the dust bin, flex coupling, or lid. Check for split or torn flex
coupling.
2. Make sure dust bin has not over filled. Dust bin should be emptied before the dust
reaches top of container.
3. Interruption of air flow, such as vacuuming chips with a flex hose connection, will
increase filter maintenance.
1. Air flow to the collector may be restricted. The collector needs the equivalent
of at least a 4" diameter cross-section open to allow adequate air volume and
speed for pre-separation in the cyclone stage of the collector. If you are using a
woodworking machine with only one 2" diameter dust port, partially open another
blast gate to compensate.
2. Heavy sanding with a drum sander or fine grit paper will cause the pleated filter
media to blind sooner than with larger size dust. Clean filter more often with
compressed air.
