Dust collection
DO NOt operate the Model G0453/G0454
without an adequate dust collection system.
this planer creates substantial amounts of
wood dust while operating. failure to use a
dust collection system can result in short
and long-term respiratory illness.
Recommended cfM at Dust Port
•
g0453 ..........................................400 CFM
• g0454 ..........................................625 CFM
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col-
lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal-
culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.
Before starting the planer, make sure you
have performed the preceding assembly
and adjustment instructions, and you have
read through the rest of the manual and
are familiar with the various functions and
safety features on this machine. failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or even death!
