Installing Clamping Handles

There are two hubs at the right side of the machine which are used for clamping (Figure 6). Screw one clamp handle into a threaded hole on each hub. (Each hub has three such holes – choose one that will prevent the clamping handles from conflicting with each other.)

When the clamping handles are screwed in completely, tighten the hex nuts against the hubs with a 19mm wrench.

Dust Collection

The use of a dust collection system is recommended for this machine. It will help keep your shop clean as well as minimize any health risks caused by wood dust. Make sure your dust collector has a capacity of at least 500 CFM. Connect the intake hose of your dust collector to the 4” diameter port at the back of the cabinet. See Figure 7.

NOTE: A wide variety of dust collection systems are available from WMH Tool Group. Call customer service at 1-800-274-6848 for more information.
