Dust Collection Test Run | Grizzly G0596-99 specs

Dust Collection		Test Run

DO NOT operate the Model G0596-99 without an adequate dust collection system. This grinder creates substantial amounts of dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

The Model G0596-99 features a dust port at the rear of the grinding wheel. If a dust collection sys- tem is not attached, both ports have spark deflec- tors that direct sparks downward.

To connect a dust collection hose:

1.Remove the spark deflector.

2.Fit the dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 4, and secure in place with a hose clamp.

3.Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper performance.
