The dust collector fliter is clean - empty the dust collector

We got the dust collector filter pulled out, and then gave it a thorough cleaning.
The bin was empty. The cyclone was packed and the filter was packed when we opened it up.

If you use the jointer for 15 minutes. Stop and check the DC. If you use the jointer, empty the DC when you are done. Once the filter overloads, it becomes easier and easier for the shavings to bypass the cyclone and pack the filter.

When you use the planer, empty the separator can.

If you’re in the woodshop, check the DC.

Keeping the shop clean and equipment in good working order is not a provided service. It’s a responsibility.
