WARNING!
Some types of dust created by sawing, power sanding, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive toxicity or harm. Some examples of these chemicals are lead
from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products, and arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
In addition, wood dust has been listed as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. government.
The risk from exposure to these chemicals and to dust varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment including dust masks or respirators designed to filter
out such dust and chemicals.
10. Connection of Dust Collection:
All table saws generate a substantial amount of dust, which can be a serious physical hazard. Your SawStop
®
saw is designed to provide superior dust collection both above and below the table.
A dust shroud below the table is engineered to capture the airflow generated by the spinning blade and divert
the dust out of the cabinet through a 4 inch diameter port at the rear of the cabinet (see Fig. 19). The dust-
collecting blade guard also works by redirecting the airflow and channeling the above-table dust out through a
port at the back of the guard (see Fig. 20).
To ensure maximum dust collection performance for your saw, it is important to connect a suitable dust collector
to both dust ports that provides at least 400 CFM of airflow. To connect your saw to the dust collector, SawStop
recommends the optional SawStop Over-Arm Dust Collector (p/n TSA-ODC), available from your dealer or
from SawStop directly. Alternatively, you can connect both dust ports to the dust collector using standard parts
(pvc pipes and fittings, vacuum hose and adapators, etc) available from hardware stores and/or woodworking
stores.
