Dust Collection
The Model W1737/W1738 features dust ports and
adapters located on top of the machine as shown in
Figures 14 and 15. Before performing any sanding
operations, attach the dust ports to a 2HP or better dust
collector, which can draw at least 1,500 CFM, or dust
buildup will hinder the performance of your sander.
Even with a sufficient dust collection system, a fine
layer of dust may still be present on your stock as it
comes out of the sander. This residual dust is a normal
condition.
Breather Pin
The Model W1737/W1738 has a breather sealing pin
installed in the breather plug for the gear reducer.
Remove this pin before using your sander (see
Figure
13); otherwise, the gear oil will expand with heat
and the seals in the gear reducer may leak due to the
pressure build up.
You may want to retain this pin if you plan on storing
your sander for a long period of time.

REMEMBER, this machine produces
fine sawdust particles that can be
inhaled, causing allergic reactions
or respiratory problems. ALWAYS
wear your respirator in addition to
using an adequate dust collection
system that draws at least 1500
CFM.
