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.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
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 G9958 Dust Collector will ensure its optimum per- formance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the fol- lowing conditions and repair or replace when nec- essary:
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.
Bag Cleaning
Always wear a dust mask when changing the dust collection bags on the Model G9958. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.
It is always a good idea to empty the collection bags on a regular basis. Emptying the collection bags allows the machine to operate at a much higher level of efficiency.
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 G9958 excels at collecting the majority of wood dust produced by your machines, we always recommend the supple- mental 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.
