Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Test Run Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly. If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 34.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) DESIGNING THE SYSTEM General This dust collector can be operated as either a stationary, central dust collector or a mobile unit. There are advantages and disadvantages to both setups. The advantage of the mobile system is eliminating the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the stationary system is more efficient and customizable.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Plastic Duct The popularity of plastic duct is due to the fact that it is an economical and readily available product. It is also simple to assemble and easily sealed against air loss. The primary disadvantage of plastic duct for dust collection is the inherent danger of static electrical build-up. Metal Duct Plastic duct generates static electrical build-up that can cause fire or shock. Properly ground all plastic duct to reduce this risk.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Flexible Duct Flexible hose is generally used for short runs, small shops and at rigid duct-to-tool connections. There are many different types of flex hose on the market today. These are manufactured from materials such as polyethylene, PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber and even metal, including steel and aluminum. The superior choice here is metal flex hose that is designed to be flexible, yet be as smooth as possible to reduce static pressure loss.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) System Grounding SETUP Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inexpensive, easily assembled and air tight, it is a very popular material for conveying dust from woodworking machines to the dust collector. We recommend using flexible hose (flex-hose) to connect the woodworking machine to the dust collector.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) System Design Decide Who Will Design For most small-to-medium sized shops, you can design and build the dust collection system yourself without hiring engineers or consultants. We have included some basic information here to get you started on a basic design. Dust Collector If you have a large shop or plan to design a complicated system, we recommend doing additional research beyond this manual or seeking the help of an expert.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) 3. 4. 5. 6. Directional changes should be kept to a minimum. The more directional change fittings you use directly increases the overall resistance to airflow. Machine Dust Port Size Approximate Required CFM 2" 98 Gradual directional changes are more efficient than sudden directional changes (i.e. use the largest corner radius possible when changing hose or pipe direction). 2.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Write the required CFM for each machine on your sketch, as shown in Figure 30. Determining Main Line Duct Size The general rule of thumb for a main line duct is that the velocity of the airflow must not fall below 3500 FPM.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) If two machines will connect to the same branch line and both will operate at the same time, then add the required CFM for each machine together and find the closest total CFM in the table in Figure 33 to determine the correct branch size. If both machines will never run at the same time, reference the machine with the biggest dust port in the table below and add blast gates after the Y-branch to open/close the line to each machine.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Calculating Duct Resistance Adding duct work, elbows, branches and any other components to a duct line increases airflow resistance (static pressure loss). This resistance can be minimized by using rigid (smooth) pipe and gradual curves, as opposed to flexible pipe and 90˚ elbows. To help you think about this resistance, imagine riding a bicycle in a tunnel that is an exact replica of your duct work.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) In most small/medium shops it is only necessary to calculate the line with the longest duct length or the most fittings (operating under the assumption that if the line with the highest resistance works, the others will be fine). To calculate the static pressure of any given line in the system, follow these steps: 1. SETUP 2.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) OPERATIONS Do NOT put hands or small objects near inlet openings during operation. Objects sucked into the inlet will meet with the impeller blade. Failure to heed this warning could result in property damage or personal injury. To. reduce. your. risk. of. serious. injury. or. damage. to. the. machine,. read. this. entire.manual.BEFORE.using.machine. General Operating a dust collector is simple and straightforward.

Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Y-Fittings are used to attach branch lines to service more than one machine. This design provides increased lateral air flow and efficiency over other types of fittings. W1014: 3" Outer Diameter W1015: 4" Outer Diameter Splices are used to connect full sections of hose for longer runs or to utilize short sections. W1018: 3" Outer Diameter W1019: 4" Outer Diameter Reducers provide a step down from a larger main line to smaller branch lines.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary: • • • • • Loose mounting bolts. Worn switch. Worn or damaged cords and plugs. Almost full collection bag. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
Model W1666/W1685 (For Machines Mfd. Since 2/15) Replacing Bags The lower bags should be emptied when they become 2⁄3 to 3⁄4 full. To empty the dust collection bags, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! 2. Make sure you are wearing safety glasses and a respirator. 3. Release the quick release clamp securing each collection bag, then remove the bags from the collector, as shown in Figure 38. 4. Place a garbage bag over each bag, invert the bag, and shake the dust out. 5.
