MAINTENANCE
Bag Cleaning
The lower bags on the dust collector should be emptied when they become 2⁄3 to 3⁄4 full.
1.Always wear a dust mask when removing and installing dust collection bags as shown in Figure 25.
2.Shake each upper bag and let the dust inside settle for a few minutes.
3.Loosen the band clamps holding the bags.
4.Take the bags off of the collector bodies and close the tops.
5.Place a garbage bag over the openings of the collection bags. Invert both bags to empty.
While the Model W1687 excels at collecting the majority of wood dust produced by your machines, we always recommend the supple- mental aid of a shop air filter. Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust particles that dust collector bags cannot trap.
Always wear a dust mask in addition to safety glasses during operation. This machine produces sawdust that may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.
