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.
