Dust Port and
Handles
When connected to a dust collection system, the dust ports direct suction to remove harmful wood and abrasive dust from the workpiece and your work area.
DO NOT operate this machine without the correct dust collection system. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long- term respiratory illness.
Make sure the dust collection system draws at least 600 CFM at the drum sander; however, there will still be a normal layer of dust on the workpiece when it exits the sander unless a larger capacity dust collector is used.
Make sure you connect flexible ducting to the dust ports. This ducting allows you to open the dust hood, change sandpaper, and service your sander without having to disconnect the ducting.
For additional information on the correct dust collection system, additions, or modifications; contact your Woodstock International dealer for your copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook and available accessories.
