dust collector operation
symptom possible Cause possible solution
Dust collector does
not adequately
collect dust
or chips; poor
performance. 1. Dust collection bags are full.
2. Filter is dirty.
3. restriction in duct line.
4. Dust collector is too far away, or there
are too many sharp bends in the ducting.
5. lumber is wet and dust not flowing
through ducting smoothly.
6. leaks in ducting or too many open ports.
7. not enough open branch lines, causing
a velocity drop in the main line.
8. Ducting or machine dust ports are
incorrectly sized.
9. the machine dust collection design is
inadequate.
10. the dust collector is too small for
the dust collection system, or ducting
layout design inadequate.
1. Empty collection bags.
2. Clean filter.
3. remove restriction in the duct line. a plumbing
snake may be necessary.
4. relocate the dust collector closer to the point
of suction, and rework ducting without sharp
bends. refer to
system design, beginning on
page 22.
5. process lumber with less than 20% moisture
content.
6. rework the ducting to eliminate all leaks. Close
dust ports for lines not being used.
7. open 1 or 2 more blast gates to different
branch lines to allow the velocity in the main
line to increase.
8. re-install correctly sized ducts and fittings.
refer to system design beginning on page
22 for more solutions.
9. use a dust collection nozzle on a stand.
10. install a larger dust collector to power your dust
collection system.
sawdust being
blown into the
air from the dust
collector. 1. Duct clamps or dust collection bags
are not properly clamped and secured.
2. Bag clamps are loose or damaged.
1. re-secure ducts and dust collection bag, making
sure duct and bag clamps are tight and completely
over the ducts and bags.
2. retighten bag clamps.
