Dust Collection

DO NOT operate the Model G0457 without an adequate dust collection system. This saw creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collec- tion system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,

(2)hose type and length between the dust col- lector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to cal- culate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect a dust collection hose:

1.Fit the 4" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 21, 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 per- formance.
