DO NOT operate the Model G0458 without adequate dust collection. This sander cre- ates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use dust collection can result in short and
You may attach the Model G0458 drum sander to a dust collection system if you do not use the included dust bag. If you are using your own dust collection system, we recommend using a system that can collect a minimum of 400 CFM AT THE DUST PORT.
Note: Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must take into account many variables, including the rating of the dust collector, the length of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the amount of branches or wyes, and the amount of other open lines throughout the system.
When the dust collection is working properly, a fine layer of dust may be present on your stock as it comes out of the sander. This is a normal characteristic of all drum sanders.
To connect the dust ports to a dust collector:
1.Attach a 21⁄2" dust collection hose to the dust port and secure with a hose clamp.
