Dust Collection

 

Test Run

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT operate your jointer without an ade- quate dust collection system. This machine 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 a 4" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 26, then secure it 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.

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, 2) the stop button safety feature works correctly, and, if equipped, 3) the cutterhead brake works 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 Troubleshooting on Page 36.

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

Before starting the jointer, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safety features on this machine. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or even death!

To test run the machine:

1.Make sure you understand the safety instruc- tions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is set up properly.

2.Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine.

3.Push the stop button in, then twist it clock- wise so it pops out. When the stop button pops out, the switch is reset and ready for operation (see Figures 27–28).
