Model W1050 Dust Collection Basics Handbook carefully guides you through setting up a quality dust collection system in your shop. Includes an easy-to-follow walk-through on designing the optimum dust collection system, and practical tips for minimizing cost and maximizing performance. A must have for beginners! 64-pages. -30- Model W1687 (For Machines Mfg. Since 9/11) SHOP FOX, MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary: • Loose mounting bolts. • Worn switch. • Worn or damaged cords and plugs. • Almost full collection bag. • Any other unsafe condition. Lubrication Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. Cleaning Bags Always 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 collection bags. Small dust particles can escape the bags during emptying, causing them to become airborne and easily inhaled. This microscopic airborne dust is extremely unhealthy to breathe and can cause serious health problems. While the Model W1687 excels at collecting the majority of wood dust produced by your machines, it is not an air filter; therefore, we strongly recommend the supplemental aid of a shop air filter such as the Model W1746 or W1690 (see Accessories on Page 28). Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust particles in the air that escape from the dust collector bags. Awarning MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur. Awarning Always wear a respirator and safety glasses when emptying dust collection bags on the dust collector. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems. -31- MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Model W1687 (For Machines Mfg.
