DUST COLLECTION: All woodworking machines require effective dust extraction to ensure
quality work and longevity of the machine itself. Failure to connect your machine to a
suitable dust collector may affect your warranty. The collector required for your machine
will depend on several factors including the type of machine and its dust port connection,
distance between collector and machine, type and frequency of use and the material being
worked. We recommend a dust collector that will provide you a minimum airflow of
1200-CFM when measured at the machine connection.
Key information can be found on the inspection
panel, found on the rear of the machine.
Record the serial number and date of purchase
in your manual for future reference.
