Dust Collection
The Model W1709 features a dust port and an adapter located on top of the machine as shown in Figures 10 and 11. Before performing any sanding operation, attach the dust port to a 2HP or better dust collector, which can draw at least 1,200 CFMs, or dust buildup will hinder the performance of your sander.
Even with a sufficient dust collection system, a fine layer of dust may still be present on your stock as it comes out of the sander. This residual dust is a normal condition.
DO NOT operate this machine without an adequate dust collection system. This machine creates substantial amounts of wood dust while in operation. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long- term respiratory illness.
ALWAYS wear your respirator in addition to using a dust collector. This machine produces sawdust that may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.
