SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
•
Dust collector is completely powered down at
the end of use.
•
Dust collection drums and bags.
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Pressure leaks.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other condition that would hamper the
safe and efficient operation of this machine.
Emptying Drums
Empty the collection drums when they are
or less. If the drums become overfilled, the dust
will be sucked into the intake barrel and passed
through to the canister filters.
How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the
type of work being done at the time:
•
Fine dust from a sander or table saw will
slowly fill the drums.
•
Curly shavings from a planer or jointer will
quickly fill the drums.
In the beginning, check your drums regularly to get
an idea of how often they need to be emptied.

gentle brush system inside the canisters for
removing any built-up dust from the filter pleats.

To clean the filters, pull the red handles down all
the way, then pull the black handles down and
hook them in place.
Note: Always make sure to leave the red handles
in the up position to ensure that the brushes return
to their proper position and do not restrict the fil-
ter.
To avoid damage to your
eyes and lungs, always
wear safety glasses and
a respirator when working
with the dust collection
bags.
