Dust and Sweep Woodshop Area

Safety 

 

 Turn on the woodshop dust collection. 

 Wear a dust mask. (If you do not have your own, disposable masks are available in the custodial room.) 

 Wear hearing protection. (The dust collection is loud.) 

 

 Task List 

 For each woodshop tool:  

 

 Use a shop vac or dust brush to remove dust from all visible surfaces.  

 If you are familiar with the bandsaws and table saw: remove any sawdust built up in the interior of these machines. 

 Sweep the woodshop floor. (To make final cleanup easier, you can push piles of sawdust to the floor-level dust gates, turn on the main dust collector, then open and close the gate using the lever on the top.) 

 Leave overhead dust collection (not the main unit) to run on HIGH for 10 minutes. 

 Turn off dust collection.
