Introduction/Safety
Dust Free Woodworking
TheShopsmithAirFiltrationSystemprovides
an efficient and effective means to collect
woodshavingsand dustfromthe workshop.
Unlikeconventional shopvacuums,the Dust
Collector is designed to collect and filter the
large volume of dust and shavings produced
withmodemwoodworkingequipment.When
usedinconjunctionwithefficientdustcollec-
tionchutesandattachments,theDustCollec-
tor will help you approach “dustfree” wood-
working.
Airflow is the Key
The “heart” of the Shopsmith Dust Collector
isalargeindustrialblowerwhichmoveslarge
volumes of air. The dust and shavings pass
through the blower, are slowed down, and
then settle in the disposable bag. The air is
then returned to the room after passing
through a large, permanent filter capable of
filtering even the smallest wood dust par-
ticles.
Asyouputyourhandovertheendofthehose
you will not feel the high vacuum, or sealed
suction, of a home or shop vacuum. A home
vacuum cleaner needs this sealed suction to
move air through small openings. A shop
vacuum also requires a high sealed suction
when used for water pick-up. The large air-
flow of the Shopsmith Dust Collector can be
“observed” by placing a few fingers into the
endofthehose.TheairflowoftheShopsmith
DustCollectorismuchhigherthananyhome
or shop vacuum.

Sawdust and shavings can be fire hazards and breath-
ing dust can be a health hazard for some people. Dust
may cause physical discomfort, especially if you have
emphysema, asthma, or an allergic reaction. The dust

2. Locate the three holes on the top of the
housing. Position the left leg (39) over the
threeholes,makingsurethenarrowerside

inlet. (See Figure 5). Attach the left leg to
thehousingwithscrews(41),lockwashers
3. Turn the housing over on the opposite
side, then attach the right leg (37) to the
housing in the same manner described
above. When you have completed install-
ing both legs, the circled “r” registration
mark after the word “Shopsmith” on the
legs should be near the larger diameter
end (top) of the main housing. Also, the
narrower side of both legs should be on
the same side of the housing as the 3-way
inlet.
Install the Base Pan
4. With the main housing and assembled
legs still on its side, position the base pan
(47) between the legs, so that the straight,
open side faces toward the front (the side
with the 3-way inlet). (See Figure 6).
Figure 5: Support the left leg as you attach it to the Main
Housing. The narrower side faces toward the front (3-
hose inlet) side.

Place a suitable block under the base pan
or lift it by hand. Insert the shaft through
the base pan’s wheel ‘.haft holes.
8. Put the other wheel on the wheel shaft
with the three spoke side facing out. In-
stall the other retainer cap and tap it se-
curely against the wheel shaft end with a
mallet.
9. Set the unit upright.
Tighten the Leg Screws
10. Usinga1/2"socketand.ratchetwrenchto
hold the nuts (43), tighten the leg screws
(41) securely with a large Phillips screw-
driver.

11. Attach the handle (33) to the back of the
legs,usingcapscrews(31)withlockwash-
ers (32) under the cap screw heads.
Tighten the Rear Handle

Install Snap-in Plugs and Left
Leg Cap
13. Insert the snap-in plugs (40) into the four
round holes in the side of each leg. Insert
the left leg cap (38) into the top of the left
leg.
Install Filter Hood
14. Slip the bent tab of the metal retaining
strap (2) through the loop of the rack (3),
makingsurethatthewritingontherackis

17. Use suitable pliers to bend a tab over the
clamp nut (4) toward the housing. Crimp
both the tabs flat in order to hold the rack
(3) and clamp to the strap. (See Figure 7.)
18. Install the filter hood (1) over the main
housing(5)sothatthehemmedbottomof
thefilter hood(containingthemetalstrap
you just installed) fits between the two
rolled ribs of the housing. Turn the filter
hood so the strap clamp is centered at the
back of the housing and the filter hood’s
stripes are aligned with the legs’ stripes.
19. Tighten the retaining strap assembly se-
curely with a large blade flathead screw-
driver.
Note
Be sure you tighten the strap between the
two ribs on the main housing. If the strap is
tightened over a rib, the filter hood will
loosen and blow off the Dust Collector.
Install Bag
20. To install the bag, open the bag (30) and
position it under the main housing (5).
Startingfromthefront,pushthebagunder
the front clip (28) and take up the slack in
the bag as you push the edge of the bag
under each clip on both sides. The bag’s
excessshould beneatly foldedat theback
of the housing.
21. Installtheplasticretainingstrapassembly
(29), but do not firmly clamp it yet.
22. Check around the circumference of the
housing lip, and adjust the bag as needed
to get a good fit. Remember to gather the
excess to the back of the housing and fold
it as flat as you can. When all is snug,
engage the clamp on the plastic retaining
strap.
Hook Up the Dust Collector
23. Plug the male socket trailing from the
backofthehousingintothefemalesocket
located on the leg. You will hear a “click”
when they are properly seated.
24. Place the Dust Collector behind power
equipment.Connecthowevermanyhoses

WhentheDustCollectorisattachedtowood-
working equipment by the hoses, there is no
occasionforlargescrapstobesuckedintothe

and cleaning up, pick up large wood scraps
before you use the dust collector.
Just remember that all materials “picked up”
pass through the fan and fan housing. While
the fan will not be damaged by small scraps
which you may occasionally pick up, it is not
advisable to make a practice of picking up

could even become jammed in the fan.
Hoses
The hoses attach to stationary or handheld
power woodworking equipment with 2-1/4"
dust chute outlets. A reducer allows you to
connecttoequipmentwith1-1/4"chutessuch
as the Shopsmith Mark V Model 500 (having
