SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Bag Cleaning
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G9958 Dust Collector will ensure its optimum per-
formance. Make a habit of inspecting your
machine each time you use it. Check for the fol-
lowing conditions and repair or replace when nec-
essary:
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
5. Do not let collection bags get completely
full.
General
It is always a good idea to empty the collection
bags on a regular basis. Emptying the collection
bags allows the machine to operate at a much
higher level of efficiency.
Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust
mask and safety glasses when emptying the col-
lection bags. Small dust particles can escape the
bags during emptying, causing them to become
airborn and easily inhailed. This microscopic air-
born dust is extremely unhealthy to breathe and
can cause serious health problems.
While the Model G9958 excels at collecting the
majority of wood dust produced by your
machines, we always recommend the supple-
mental aid of a shop air filter such as the Grizzly
G5955 or G9956. Air filters are designed to collect
the smaller dust particles that a dust collector
bags cannot trap.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury. !
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire mainte-
nance process. Failure
to comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Always wear a dust
mask when changing
the dust collection bags
on the Model G9958.
Sawdust may cause
allergic reactions or res-
piratory problems.
