Task List*

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.
