Dust Collection

Your Mini Shaper has a rear chip discharge which fits any standard dust collection with a 212'' hose. A 212'' to 114'' hose adapter is supplied with the Mini Shaper. Attaching a dust collection system will keep your work area cleaner.

If Chip Discharge clogs with chips, turn switch OFF and UNPLUG unit to avoid accidental start- ing. Dislodge chips and debris with a pencil or wood dowel, minimum 6 inches in length.

When resuming operation, feed at a slower rate to avoid re-clogging. Use of a Wet-Dry Vac will virtually eliminate the chance of clogging.

Never leave hose connected to the machine dur- ing operation if a vac is not turned on. The hose and machine will clog with chips.
