Any standard dust collection hose can be attached to the 21⁄2" dust dust port (Figure 15) on the back of the Model H2801. To attach a dust collecting system:
1.Insert the dust collection hose on the exhaust port at the rear of the jointer. If your hose is larger than the 21⁄2" dust port, adapters can be found in the current Grizzly catalog.
2.Turn the dust collecting system ON.
3.Turn the jointer ON and continue with normal jointing operations.
Remember to replace or empty the bag in the dust collection system as necessary for proper function.

Use ear protection when using the jointer with a shop vacuum. The combined noise of the two operating universal motors may cause hearing loss over a long period of time.
The purpose of planing on a jointer is to produce one flat surface. Once you have one flat surface on a board, it can then more readily be milled to precise, final dimensions on a thickness planer. It is nearly impossible to surface plane both sides of a board effectively because the two surfaced sides will not be parallel to each other.
1.Inspect your lumber for soundness and grain direction.
2.If the stock is cupped (warped), place the concave side down and slowly feed it over the cutterhead as shown in Figure 16.
Always use a push block(s) when planing the surface of a board. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

3.Inspect your results. Most likely, many pass- es will be necessary before your lumber has a flat surface.
4.If the stock has large or loose knots, consid- er finding another workpiece. Knots in a workpiece can be dangerous to the operator, as well as destructive to equipment.
