SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
To reduce your risk of
serious injury, read this
entire
using machine.
To reduce risk of eye injury from flying
chips or lung damage from breathing dust,
always wear safety glasses and a respirator
when operating this machine.
DO NOT put hands or small
objects near inlet opening
during operation. Objects
sucked into inlet will meet
with impeller blade. Failure
to heed this warning could
result in personal injury or
property damage.
Never place dust collector in room with
open flames or pilot lights. There is a risk of
explosion if too much fine dust is dispersed
into air with open flame present.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.

BEFORE
General
Keep in mind that the dust collector is intended for
single machine use and is not designed to draw
dust through long ducting runs and multiple ports
simultaneously.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1.
Positions machine near dust collector and
uses appropriate ducting to connect machine
to dust collector.
2.
Connects ducting ground.
3.
Turns woodworking machine, then dust col-
lector ON.
4.
Performs woodworking operation.
5.
Turns woodworking machine, then dust col-
lector OFF.
Tips for Optimum Performance
•
Keep duct between dust collector and
machine as short as possible. We do not rec-
ommend using more than 10' of ducting. The
simpler the system, the more efficient and
less costly it will be.
•
Ridges inside flexible hose greatly increase
static pressure loss, which reduces suction
performance.
•
Keep ducting directional changes to a mini-
mum. The more curved fittings you use, the
greater the loss of suction at dust-producing
machine.
•
Gradual directional changes are more effi-
cient than sudden directional changes (i.e.
use 45° elbows in place of 90° elbows when-
ever possible).
