SERVICE
This section covers the most common service adjustments
or procedures that may need to be made during the life
of your machine.

General
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all service proce-
dures! If this warning is ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Emptying Drum
Empty the collection drum when it is no more than 3 /
4
full.
If the drum is overfilled, dust will be sucked into the inlet
cylinder and pass through to the filter.
How quickly the drum will fill up is based on the type of
work being done at that time.
A machine that produces fine dust, such as a sander or
table saw, will slowly fill the drum.
A machine that produces curly shavings, such as a planer
or jointer, will quickly fill the drum.
In the beginning, check your drum regularly to get an idea
of how often it needs to be emptied.
Cleaning Filter
Your new cyclone dust collector has a gentle brush system
inside the filter for cleaning. This brush system is con-
trolled by the red and black handles shown in Figure 57.
To clean the filter, simply pull the red handle down all the
way, then pull the black handle down and hook in place.
Always make sure to leave the red handle in the up posi-
tion to ensure that the brushes return to their proper
position and do not restrict the filter.
For a more thorough cleaning, the filters can be removed
and rinsed off inside. However, make sure to clean the
filters with the brush system first. Allow the filter to air
dry, but never leave the filters in the sun to dry or they
could become damaged. Do not blow out the filters with
compressed air to avoid damaging them.
