the cutterhead when you perform this test, then

remove it and repeat

Steps 27–29. Do not con-

tinue with the assembly until the cutterhead guard

works correctly.

DO NOT operate the Model W1755 without an ade-

quate dust collection system. This machine creates

substantial amounts of wood dust while operating.

Failure to use a dust collection system can result in

short and long-term respiratory illness.

Assemble the knife setting jig as shown in

Figure 25.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ................ 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating

of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust

port, you must take into account many variables, includ-

ing the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of

hose between the dust collector and the machine, the

amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open

lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation

is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of

your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust

collection "how-to" book.
