15.DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION- AL STARTING. On machines with mag- netic contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before recon- necting.

17.MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN ???KICKBACK??? THE WORKPIECE toward the operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create ???kickback??? and know how to avoid them. Read the manual accom- panying the machine thoroughly.

18.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur- ther use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, bind- ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

19.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT- TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20.NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN

TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert- ness is required at all times when running a machine.

21.NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR

UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER- ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any instructions you give in regards to machine operation are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

22.IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC- ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend- ed operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

1.THIS DUST COLLECTOR IS TO BE USED

FOR WOOD DUST COLLECTION ONLY.

Do not use this dust collector to pick up liq- uids and metal scrap including, but not lim- ited to, nails and filings. Metallic debris will contact the spinning impeller and could spark. The spark could then cause a saw- dust explosion and severe fire hazard. Also, do not pick up material which cannot safely pass through the impeller such as solid wood scraps.

2.DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS OR TOOLS NEAR THE OPEN INLET during operation for any reason including, but not limited to, unclogging material and testing suction. The impeller could cause serious damage to body parts if touched while spin- ning.

3.PROBLEMS CONCERNED WITH ANY MOVING PARTS or accessories must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected and after everything has come to a complete stop.

4.SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES IN CON-

JUNCTION WITH AN IGNITION SOURCE, may cause an explosion. Do not operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks would be high if dust were dispersed into the area. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights and/or open flames.

5.DO NOT ALLOW STEEL TO STRIKE

AGAINST STEEL WHICH MAY PRODUCE A SPARK. Sparks can smolder in wood dust for a long time before fire or flame is detected. If metal contacts metal during operation, immediately turn off the dust col- lector, unplug the power cord from the outlet or flip the disconnect switch and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove collection bags and empty the dust into an approved air tight metal container in case of spark. Remedy the metal to metal contact problem before resuming operation.

6.WHEN EMPTYING DUST FROM THE COLLECTION BAGS, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust into an approved container and dispose of properly.

7.IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE INTENDED OPERATION, stop using the machine! Then contact our service depart- ment or ask a qualified expert how the oper- ation should be performed.

8.BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC reaction in people and animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to in case there is a possibility of an allergic reaction. Always wear an approved respira- tor!

No list of safety guidelines can be com- plete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

DO NOT use the dust collector for any other purpose besides collecting dust from con- nected woodworking machines. A dust col- lector should NEVER be used as an air cleaner. For safest use, wear a dust mask and use an air cleaner in addition to the dust collector.

The G1028Z Dust Collector is pre-wired for 110V, but can be rewired for 220V. Refer to the wiring diagram included with this manual for instruction. Do not attempt to rewire the motor if the diagram is missing. Contact the appropriate service center for more information.

A plug is not provided with the G1028Z. It will be necessary to purchase a standard 110V plug from your local hardware store. If you are rewiring for 220V, see Figure 1 for the recommended 220V receptacle.

Circuit Breaker: The 11???2 H.P. motor will draw roughly 18 amps at 110V or 9 amps at 220V. We recommend a using 20 amp circuit breaker for 110V or 220V operation. Circuit breakers rated higher will not adequately protect the circuit. If you are using a fuse, we recommend a 30 amp slow blow for 110V or 220V operation. Fuses rated higher will not adequately protect the circuit.

The G1029 Dust Collector is pre-wired for 220V.

A plug is not provided with the G1029. Refer to Figure 1 for recommended 220V receptacle.

Circuit Breaker: The 2 H.P. motor will draw roughly 12 amps @ 220V. We recommend using a 20 amp circuit breaker. Circuit breakers rated higher will not adequately protect the motor. If you are using a fuse, we recommend 30 amp slow blow 220V service. Fuses rated higher will not adequately protect the motor.

Figure 1. Recommended 220V receptacle.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro- vides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equip- ment-grounding conductor which must be proper- ly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding con- ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equip- ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords with 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place- ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should the situation be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord when using either 110V or 220V. The extension cord must also con- tain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configu- ration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

If you are unsure about the correct installation or modification of electrical circuits, please consult the advice of a qualified electrician. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly???s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash points which make them extremely flamma- ble. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these p r o d u c t s a r e u s e d . Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explo- sion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Always work in well- ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with sol- vents. Use care when dis- posing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environ- mental hazards.

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD

Your Model G1028Z/G1029 represents a moder- ate weight load in an average footprint. Most com- mercial or home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the weight of the Model G1028Z/G1029. If you question the strength of your floor, you can opt to reinforce it.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis- tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without lim- itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also, consider the relative position of each machine to one another for effi- cient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation and keep dust collection hoses off the floor and out of the way.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Make your shop ???child safe.??? Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. Never allow visitors in your shop when assembling, adjust- ing or operating equip- ment.

General

The Model G1028Z/G1029 can be operated as either a stationary or a mobile unit. There are advantages and disadvantages to both set-ups. The advantage of the mobile system is eliminat- ing the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the stationary system is more versa- tile and convenient.

The Model G1028Z/G1029 is designed to be a central dust collector system. Locate the dust col- lector in an out of the way location such as a cor- ner or separate room. The dust collector is capa- ble of collecting dust from up to two machines running simultaneously. Because of the large suction capacity of the Model G1028Z/G1029, great flexibility is possible in the planning and designing of your dust collection duct layout. Grizzly offers a complete line of dust collection accessories for setting up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book entitled Dust Collection Basics.

Whatever system you choose, always make sure there are no open flames or pilot lights in the same room as the dust collector. There is a risk of explosion if dust is dispursed into the air.

Material Selection

You have many choices regarding main line and branch line duct material. In most commercial workshops, the main line and branch lines are usually metal duct. Flexible hose is then used to connect each machine to the branch lines. In the case of small home shops, flexible hose may be used for both main line and branch line ducts. Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops. Please be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without being grounded against static electrical charge build-up. This topic will be discussed later in the manual.

METAL DUCT

Metal duct comes in many varieties. Stove pipe, heating/ventilation duct and duct made especially for dust collection are all options. Advantages of metal duct is its conductivity and that it does not contribute to static electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are still produced when dust particles strike other dust particles as they move through the duct. Since metal duct is a con- ductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissi- pate any static electrical charges. However, metal duct is generally more expensive than plastic duct and it is not usually airtight unless specifically manufactured for dust collection. Specially manu- factured metal duct, on the other hand, is quite expensive. Metal duct is also generally more diffi- cult to cut and assemble.

FLEXIBLE HOSE

Flexible rubber hose, polyethylene, plastic flex- hose and other flexible ribbed 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 polyethyl- ene, PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber and even metal, including steel and aluminum.

There are also many kinds of pure plastic flexible hose, such as non-perforated drainage type hose and dryer vent hose. Drainage type hose, while being economical, does not quite have the flexi- bility required for dust collection. The inside of the duct is also deeply corrugated and can increase the static pressure loss by as much as 50% over smooth wall duct. Dryer vent hose, while being completely flexible, is non-resistant to abrasion and has a tendency to collapse in a negative pressure system.

If using flex-hose, you should choose one of the many types that are designed specifically for the movement of solid particles, i.e. dust, grains and plastics. However, the cost of specifically designed flexible duct can vary greatly. Grizzly offers polyethylene hose which is well suited for the removal of particulate matter, especially saw- dust, since it is durable and completely flexible. Polyethylene is also very economical and avail- able in a wide variety of diameters and lengths for most applications.

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, whether black ABS or white PVC and even rubber or polyethylene flex-hose, is the inherent danger of static electri- cal build-up.

System Grounding

Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inexpen- sive, easily assembled and air tight, it is a very popular material for conveying dust from wood- working machines to the dust collector. We rec- ommend using flexible hose (flex-hose) to con- nect the woodworking machine to the dust collec- tor. However, plastic flex-hose and plastic duct are an insulator, and dust particles moving against the walls of the plastic duct create a stat- ic electrical build up. This charge will build until it discharges to a ground. If a grounding medium is not available to prevent static electrical build up, the electrical charge will arc to the nearest grounded source. This electrical discharge may cause an explosion and subsequent fire inside the system.

To protect against static electrical build up inside a non-conducting duct, a bare copper wire should be placed inside the duct along its length and grounded to the dust collector. You must also con- firm that the dust collector is continuously ground- ed through the electrical circuit to the electric ser- vice panel.

If you connect the dust collector to more than one machine by way of a non-conducting branching duct system and blast gates, the system must still be grounded as mentioned above. We recom- mend inserting a continuous bare copper ground wire inside the entire duct system and attaching the wire to each grounded woodworking machine and dust collector.

Always guard against static electrical build up by grounding all dust collection lines.

Be sure that you extend the bare copper wire down all branches of the system. Do not forget to connect the wires to each other with wire nuts when two branches meet at a ???Y??? or ???T??? connec- tion.

Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If using plastic blast gates to direct air flow, the grounding wire must be jumped (Figure 12) around the blast gate without interruption to the grounding system.

Plastic Blast Gate

Figure 12. Ground jumper wire when using plastic blast gates and metal duct.

We also recommend wrapping the outside of all plastic ducts with bare copper wire to ground the outside of the system against static electrical build up. Wire connections at Y???s and T???s should be made with wire nuts.

Attach the bare ground wire to each stationary woodworking machine and attach the dust collec- tor frame with a ground screw as shown in Figure 13. Ensure that each machine is continuously grounded to the grounding terminal in your elec- tric service panel.

Figure 13. Flex-hose grounded to machine.

Design Suggestions

When designing a successful dust collection sys- tem, planning is the most important step. Before you set out to run the first section of duct, consid- er these general guidelines for an efficient sys- tem:

1.Machines that produce the most saw dust should be placed nearest to the dust collec- tor. These machines include thickness plan- ers, shapers, sanders and bandsaws.

2.Ideally, you should design the duct system to have the shortest possible mainline run and to have short secondary branch ducts.

3.Directional changes should be kept to a min- imum. The more directional change fittings you use, the greater the loss of overall pres- sure.

4.Gradual directional changes are more effi- cient than sudden directional changes (i.e. use the largest corner radius possible when changing hose or pipe direction).

5.Each individual machine should have a blast gate to control suction from one machine to another.

6.The simpler the system, the more efficient and less costly it will be.

The best way to plan your new system is to draw a bird???s eye view (as shown in Figure 14) of your shop and sketch the following:

1.Your desired location of the dust collector, usually in a corner or along a wall.

2.The location of each machine in the system.

3.The location of the main line duct and each branch line.

4.The location of any obtrusion such as a joist or heating duct, that will require special duct routing.

Figure 14. Bird???s eye planning view.

Test Run

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire operations process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating your dust collector. This machine circulates saw- dust which may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. The dust collector should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing nois- es. Strange or unnatural noises should be investi- gated and corrected before operating the machine further.

If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.

General

Operating your Model G1028Z/G1029 is simple and straightforward. Blast gates located at each of the machines controls the air flow from the woodworking machine to the dust collector. If a machine is not being used, keep the blast gate closed to maintain higher levels of efficiency throughout the system.

DO NOT use the dust collector for any other purpose besides collecting dust from con- nected woodworking machines. A dust col- lector should NEVER be used as an air cleaner. For safest use, wear a dust mask and use an air cleaner in addition to the dust collector.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire mainte- nance process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1028Z/G1029 Dust Collector will ensure its opti- mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

5.Do not let collection bags get completely full.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

Bag Cleaning

Always wear a dust mask when changing the dust collection bags on the dust collector. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.

Always empty the collection bags on a regular basis. Emptying the collection bags allows the machine to operate at a much higher level of effi- ciency.

Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust mask and safety glasses when emptying the col- lection bags. Small dust particles can escape the bags during emptying, causing them to become airborn and easily inhailed. This microscopic air- born dust is extremely unhealthy to breathe and can cause serious health problems.

While the Model G1028Z/G1029 excels at collect- ing the majority of wood dust produced by your machines, it is not an air filter; therfore, we strongly recommend the supplemental aid of a shop air filter such as the Grizzly G5955 or G9956. Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust particles that a dust collector bags cannot trap.

The following pages contain general machine data, parts diagram, parts list and Warranty/Return information for your Model G1028Z/G1029 Dust Collector.
