Dust Collection

DO NOT operate the Model G0636X without
an adequate dust collection system. This
saw creates substantial amounts of wood
dust while operating. Failure to use a dust
collection system can result in short and
long-term respiratory illness.
Recommended CFM at each Dust Port: 400
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 col-
lector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number
of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other
open lines throughout the system. Explaining
how to calculate these variables is beyond the
scope of this manual. Consult an expert or pur-
chase a good dust collection "how-to" book.
To connect a dust collection hose:
1.
Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, as
shown in Figure 17, and secure in place with
a hose clamp.
2.
Tug each hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
