Dust Collection
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 650 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, 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 cal
-
culation 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:
1. Fit a 5" dust hose over the dust port, as
shown in
Figure 16, and secure in place with
a 5" hose clamp
.
2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come
off. Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
DO NOT operate the Model G0603X without
an adequate dust collection system. This
planer creates substantial amounts of wood
dust while operating. Failure to use a dust
collection system can result in short and
long-term respiratory illness.
