W1770 21" Bandsaw w/Foot Brake

Dust Collection

Recommended CFM at each Dust Port:

400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must take into account many variables, includ- ing the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation 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.

DO NOT operate this machine without an adequate dust collection system. This machine creates substan- tial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

To connect the dust collection hoses, do these steps:

1.Fit a 4" dust hose over each dust port, as shown in Figure 22, and secure in place with a hose clamp.
