SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
•Loose mounting bolts.
•Worn switch.
•Worn or damaged wires.
•Full collection bag.
•Any other unsafe condition.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Impeller Tightening
Periodically check the impeller to make certain it is tight on the motor shaft. Any unusual vibration or noise may be an indication the impeller has loosened. There is one set screw which holds the impeller to the shaft, and a cap screw

Always wear a respirator and safety glasses when emptying the dust collection bag on the dust collector. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.
Bag Cleaning
Always empty the collection bag on a regular basis. Emptying the collection bag allows the machine to operate at a much higher level of effi- ciency. Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust mask and safety glasses when emptying the collection bag. Small dust particles can escape the bag during emptying, causing them to become airborne and easily inhaled. This microscopic airborne dust is unsafe to breathe and can cause serious health problems.
While the Model G0710 excels at collecting the majority of wood dust produced by your machines, it is not an air filter; therefore, we strongly rec- ommend using the supplemental aid of a shop air filter such as the Grizzly G0572 shown on Page 19. Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust particles that a dust collector bags cannot trap.
