MAINTENANCE
General
No maintenance such as bearing lubrication is required on this machine. But it is important to empty the drum and clean the filter during use. To catch any potential problems, make it a habit to inspect your machine before and after you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:
•Check loose mounting bolts and ducting.
•Check worn or damaged wires.
•Check system for leaks.
•Check for tears in the filter or bags.
•Look for any other unsafe condition.
Emptying Drum
Empty the collection drum when it is approximately 3/4 full as seen through the viewing window. If the drum is overfilled, dust will be sucked into the inlet cylinder and pass through to the filter. Sawdust and wood chips collected from different machines will require you to adjust the frequency of inspections.
To empty the sawdust from the drum, use the clamping lever (see Figure 35) on the drum lid to lift the lid and roll the drum out for emptying.
To empty the canister bag, use the canister quick release clamp to remove and dump the bag. The bags may be reused several times. We do not recommend using plain garbage bags as the wall thickness is insufficient to prevent

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance pro- cedures! And Always wear goggles and a respirator when emptying the dust collection bags. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or respiratory prob- lems.
