W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife

Dust Collection

DO NOT operate the Model W1761/W1762 without an adequate dust collection system. This saw cre- ates substantial amounts of wood dust while oper- ating. Failure to use a dust collection 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 rat- ing of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must take into account many variables, including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the amount of branches or wyes, and the amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining this calcula- tion is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect a dust collection hose, do these steps:

1. Fit the 4" dust hose over the dust port, as shown in Figure 36, and secure in place with a 4" hose clamp.

2.Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper perfor- mance.
