Dust Collection
Figure 11. Example of hose attached to port.
To connect dust collection system to machine:
1. Using 5" hose clamps, secure hoses from
dust collection system to dust ports (see
Figure 11).
2. Tug hoses to make sure they do not come
off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
This machine creates a lot of wood chips/
dust during operation. Breathing airborne
dust on a regular basis can result in perma-
nent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk
by wearing a respirator and capturing the
dust with a dust-collection system.

Air Line Installation
Use the following steps to install an air line to the
air inlet and regulator.
To install air line:
1. Connect hose from air compressor to air inlet
(see Figure 10) on regulator.
2. Make sure red handle on regulator is in ON
position (parallel with air inlet).
3. Lift regulator knob (see Figure 10) and turn it
until air pressure gauge reads 75 PSI.
Note: Turn knob clockwise to increase air
pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
air pressure.
4. Push regulator knob down until it snaps.

Minimum CFM at Dust Ports: 2400 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
