Woodstock W1773, W1772 owner manual Dust Collection, Power Connection, Recommended CFM at Sander

W1772/W1773 37" Drum Sander

Dust Collection

Recommended CFM at Sander: 1600 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.

We recommend using a dust collection system that pro- duces a minimum of 2000 CFM. A fine layer of dust will be present on your stock as it comes out of the sander. This is normal.

To connect the dust ports to a dust collector, do these steps:

1.Attach 4" dust collection hoses to the dust ports shown in Figure 17 and secure them with hose clamps.

Power Connection

Before connecting to power, read through the ELECTRICAL section on Page 11 to check that your setup follows the safety and circuit requirements for this machine. Be sure to also have your electrician on hand for the "Test Run" in case the power is connected out of phase (Model W1773 only).

To connect the sander to the power source, do these steps:

1.Remove the screws securing the control panel and lift off the face plate.

Attempting to connect this machine to the power source without a qualified electrician greatly increases the risk of electrocution, fire, or machine damage.
