SERVICE
General
This section covers the most common service adjustments or procedures that may need to be made during the life of your machine.
If you require additional machine service not included in this section, please contact Woodstock International Technical Support at (360)
Emptying Drum
Empty the collection drum when it is no more than 3/4 full. If the drum is overfilled, dust will be sucked into the inlet cylinder and pass through to the filter.
How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the type of work being done at that time.
A machine that produces fine dust, such as a sander or table saw, will slowly fill the drum.
A machine that produces curly shavings, such as a planer or jointer, will quickly fill the drum.
In the beginning, check your drum regularly to get an idea of how often it needs to be emptied.
Cleaning Filter
Your new cyclone dust collector has a gentle brush system inside the filter for cleaning. This brush system is con- trolled by the red and black handles shown in Figure 57.
To clean the filter, simply pull the red handle down all the way, then pull the black handle down and hook in place.
Always make sure to leave the red handle in the up posi- tion to ensure that the brushes return to their proper position and do not restrict the filter.
For a more thorough cleaning, the filters can be removed and rinsed off inside. However, make sure to clean the filters with the brush system first. Allow the filter to air dry, but never leave the filters in the sun to dry or they could become damaged. Do not blow out the filters with compressed air to avoid damaging them.
MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all service proce- dures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
