August  2019--The core team (led by Zack Sasnow and a few others) are in the process of assembling the Grizzly DC. Need to lift the power head and put the cyclone and filters under it.  Then comes building the ductwork that we measured and designed.  And connecting the main tools.  Erik is designing our tool racks and benches around that.  We hope to be totally tidy in a month or two.

Being an old wreck, I assist in any way that I can without lifting toting or straining. --gary

== Yellow Strobe Light means the Dust Collector is Full ==
 +
 +
The yellow strobe light in the woodshop is connected to a bin sensor that checks if the bin for the dust collector is full. If the strobe is blinking, stop what you are doing and go check the dust collector and planer bins. One of 2 things is happening:
 +
1. The bin is full and YOU should empty it. Do not hesitate to rope anyone else in the woodshop to help you figure out how to do this task, lift heavy things, move materials, whatever. Also check the dust bin by the planer is not full.
 +
2. The bin sensor is dirty. Clean it ('''needs instructions''').
 +
 +
==Emptying the Dust Collector==
 +
 +
There are currently 2 dust bins: one next to the planer, and one under the dust collector cyclone.
 +
 +
===When the bin is full===
 +
(Dust collector drum) Remove the drum at the from the cabinet by twisting the bayonette lock securing the cylone hose to the bin. (Both drums) unlock the steel spring strap and pop the lid off the drum. Tie the bag off in the bin. Drag the bin out to the dumpster and flip the whole bin in the dumpster. Do not hesitate to get someone to help you do this task, everyone should be helping keep the shops clean! There are dollies that float around the shop and may be useful in moving the drum.
 +
 +
===Replacing the bag===
 +
Look for some heavy duty 55 gallon bags ('''location?'''). Place the bag to the rim of the dust bin. To keep the bag from getting sucked into the system place a piece of scrap lumber from the trash/dumpster that will fit flat at the bottom of the bin.  Poke a hole thumb-sized hole in the bag a few inches from the top of the rim of the drum (if the hole is too high the drum lid will cap the hole). This lets out the air between the bin and the bag, DO IT.
 +
 +
===Reasons for bags===
 +
All dust collection bins should have a plastic bag inside of them. The bag keeps the saw dust from blowing around outside and into your lungs; both miserable experiences. The trash collectors do not want loose wood chips in a dumpster, as it spills out through the gap in their truck when they flip the dumpster and they have to shovel it out of the alley. And everyone knows you don't mess with the trash collectors....

=== Use checklist ===

PS1 is experimenting with the use of checklists to encourage the safe use and proper care of tools in the workspace. The latest version of the [[checklists]] for this tool is stored as a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zWSRJsCtZW5rQdyKmxrWFWuvZcgrSYduGngNTxhlQIw/edit?usp=sharing Google Doc] that can be edited by anyone. If you make changes, update the effective date at the bottom of the document. Print a new copy, and replace the old one.
