schedule
emptying drum
Empty the collection drum when it is approximate-
ly
3 ⁄
4
full. if the drum becomes overfilled, the dust
will be sucked into the intake barrel and passed
through to the canister filter.
how quickly the drum will fill up is based on the
type of work being done at the time:
• Fine dust from a sander or table saw will
slowly fill the drums.
• Curly shavings from a planer or jointer will
quickly fill the drums.
When first using the dust collector, check the
drum regularly to get an idea of how often it needs
to be emptied.
the Model g0703/g0703p dust collector has a
crank handle (see
figure 63) driven filter flap
system for removing any built-up dust from the
filter pleats.
cleaning filter
to avoid damage to your
eyes and lungs, always
wear safety glasses and
a respirator when working
with the dust collection
bags or canisters.
to clean the filter, rotate the filter handle a few
turns in one direction. the caked-on dust will fall
into the plastic bag below.
For a more thorough cleaning every few months
under heavy use, remove the filter from the dust
collector and rinse it with warm water. Allow the
filters to air dry only. do not leave the filters in the
sun to dry or apply heat to speed the process;
heat exposure can damage your filters.
