Dust Collection Test Run

DO NOT operate the Model G0456 disc sand- er without an adequate dust collection sys- tem. Sanding creates substantial amounts of fine dust. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short- and long-term respiratory illness.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 100 CFM

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 CFM 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. Explaining this cal- culation is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book. Refer to Grizzly Model G2525 "Dust Collection Basics."

To connect a dust collection hose:

1.Fit the 2" dust hose or adapter over the dust port, as shown in Figure 9, and secure in place with a hose clamp.

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

G0456 Variable Speed Wood Lathe

Once the assembly is complete, test run the lathe to make sure it runs properly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review the Troubleshooting on Page 30.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test run the machine:

1.Plug the lathe into the power source.

2.Turn the speed dial to OFF, then lift the paddle switch up to turn the lathe ON.

3.Turn the speed dial to start the lathe spindle motor. The spindle should rotate.

4.Listen to and watch for abnormal noises or actions. The lathe should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.

—Strange or unusual noises should be investigated and corrected before operat- ing the machine further. Always unplug the machine when investigating or correcting the machine.

5.Test the variable speed by slowly turning the speed up, then down, once.

—The machine should have sped up and slowed down as you moved the dial. If it did, then the test run is over and your machine is ready for normal operations.

—If the lathe had problems changing speeds, refer to the Troubleshooting chart on Page 30, or call our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for additional help.
