More Information
Here are a few things that you need to know:
- The blast gates open and the vacuum starts automatically when the tool is turned on
- It takes 15-20 seconds to spin up to full speed (important for the miter saw/panel saw especially)
- It runs for several minutes after the latest tool is shut down
- It's LOUD. Hearing protection is recommended
- DO NOT TURN IT OFF, EVEN IF THE NOISE ANNOYS YOU
- The floor sweeps trigger it automatically by turning the timers. The sweep will remain open for the period of time on the timer. You CANNOT turn the timers backwards or they’ll break.
- If for some reason you need to do any sort of service to the machine, the disconnect handle on the left side of the closet MUST BE pulled first to do so safely.
-Emptying the bins instructions can be found below.
- notify a member of the Woodshop Team if difficulty arises:
Eric Beauchamp, Ralph Brendler, Michelle DeLeon, Paul VanLake, Zack Sasnow, David Earl, Brian Desmond, Gary Newhouse
