SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire mainte- nance process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
General
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1028Z/G1029 Dust Collector will ensure its opti- mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:
1.Loose mounting bolts.
2.Worn switch.
3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
5.Do not let collection bags get completely full.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Bag Cleaning
Always wear a dust mask when changing the dust collection bags on the dust collector. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.
Always empty the collection bags on a regular basis. Emptying the collection bags allows the machine to operate at a much higher level of effi- ciency.
Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust mask and safety glasses when emptying the col- lection bags. Small dust particles can escape the bags during emptying, causing them to become airborn and easily inhailed. This microscopic air- born dust is extremely unhealthy to breathe and can cause serious health problems.
While the Model G1028Z/G1029 excels at collect- ing the majority of wood dust produced by your machines, it is not an air filter; therfore, we strongly recommend the supplemental aid of a shop air filter such as the Grizzly G5955 or G9956. Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust particles that a dust collector bags cannot trap.
