Always guard against static electrical build up by grounding all dust col- lection lines.

The Model G1028Z/G1029Z can be operated as either a stationary or a mobile unit. There are advantages and disadvantages to both set-ups. The advantage of the mobile system is eliminating the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the stationary system is more versatile and convenient.

If using the Model G1028Z/G1029Z as a central dust collector system, put the dust collector in an out of the way location such as a corner or sepa- rate room. The dust collector is capable of collect- ing dust from up to two machines running simul- taneously. Grizzly offers a complete line of dust collection accessories for setting up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book entitled Dust Collection Basics.

Whatever system you choose, always make sure there are no open flames or pilot lights in the same room as the dust collector. There is a risk of explosion if dust is dispersed into the air.

You have many choices regarding main line and branch line duct material. For best results, use metal duct for the main line and branch lines, then use a short lengths of flexible hose to connect each machine to the branch lines.

Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops. However, be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without being grounded against static electrical charge build-up. This topic will be discussed later in this section. Another problem with using plastic is that it is less efficient per foot than metal.

Metal Duct

Advantages of metal duct is its conductivity and that it does not contribute to static electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are still produced when dust particles strike other dust particles as they move through the duct. Since metal duct is a conductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate any static electrical charges.
