10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It is safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Safety Instructions for Power Tools
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL 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
reconnecting.
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. Thoroughly read
the manual accompanying the machine.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further 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, binding 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 UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

Additional Safety For Dust Collectors
5. DO NOT ALLOW STEEL TO STRIKE
AGAINST IMPELLER 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 collector, 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 department or ask a qualified expert how the operation 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 respirator!
1. THIS DUST COLLECTOR IS TO BE USED
FOR WOOD DUST COLLECTION ONLY.
Do not use this dust collector to pick up liquids and metal scrap including, but not limited to, nails and filings. Metallic debris will
contact the spinning impeller and could
spark. The spark could then cause a sawdust 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 spinning.
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.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. 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 connected woodworking machines. A dust collector should NEVER be used as an air
cleaner. For safest use, wear a respirator
and use an air cleaner in addition to the
dust collector.

The Model G0548 features a single phase 220V
2 HP motor.
Amperage Draw
220V .................................................... 12 Amps
Use the following guidelines when choosing a circuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are
not adequate to protect the circuit):
Circuit Breaker
220V ..........................................15 Amp, 2 Pole
Figure 1. NEMA 6-15 plug and receptacle.
We recommend using a NEMA 6-15 plug (Figure
1). You may also “hard-wire” the dust collector
directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical
codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements. The motor is wired according to the diagram in Figure 1a.

Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
with 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement 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 Standard Service
(grade S) or better. The extension cord must also
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair
or replace extension cords when they become
worn or damaged.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician.

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
conductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate 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 manufactured metal duct, on the other
hand, is quite expensive. Metal duct is also generally more difficult to cut and assemble.
FLEXIBLE HOSE
Flexible rubber hose, polyethylene, plastic flexhose and other flexible ribbed hose is generally
used for short runs, small shops and at rigid ductto-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 Model G0548 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 eliminating the cost
of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the
stationary system is more versatile and convenient.
The Model G0548 is designed to be a central
dust collector system. Locate the dust collector in
an out of the way location such as a corner or
separate room. The dust collector is capable of
collecting dust from up to two machines running
simultaneously. Because of the large suction
capacity of the Model G0548, 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 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 dispersed into the air.

General
SECTION 6: COLLECTION SYSTEM
G0548 2 HP Dust Collector -19-
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. However, plastic flex-hose and plastic
duct are an insulator, and dust particles moving
against the walls of the plastic duct create a static 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
confirm that the dust collector is continuously
grounded through the electrical circuit to the electric service 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 recommend 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.
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 flexibility 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 sawdust, since it is durable and completely flexible.
Polyethylene is also very economical and available 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 electrical build-up.
System Grounding
-20- G0548 2 HP Dust Collector
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” connection.
Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If
using plastic blast gates to direct air flow, the
grounding wire must be jumped (Figure 22)
around the blast gate without interruption to the
grounding system.

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 collector frame with a ground screw as shown in Figure
23. Ensure that each machine is continuously
grounded to the grounding terminal in your electric service panel.

The best way to plan your new system is to draw
a bird’s eye view (as shown in
Figure 24)
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 24. Bird’s eye planning view.
Main Line
Branch Line
When designing a successful dust collection system, planning is the most important step. Before
you set out to run the first section of duct, consider these general guidelines for an efficient system:
1. Machines that produce the most saw dust
should be placed closest to the dust collector. These machines include thickness planers, 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 pressure.
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.

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 finger 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
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated 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.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Wear safety glasses during the entire operations
process. Failure to comply may result in serious
personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Operating your Model G0548 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.
Always wear a respirator when operating your
dust collector. This
machine circulates sawdust which may cause
allergic reactions or respiratory problems.
DO NOT use the dust collector for any
other purpose besides collecting dust
from connected woodworking machines.
A dust collector should NEVER be used as
an air cleaner. For safest use, wear a respirator and use an air cleaner in addition to
the dust collector.

SECTION 7: OPERATION
G0548 2 HP Dust Collector -23-
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G0548 Dust Collector 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:
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.
Disconnect power to the
machine when performing any maintenance,
assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
Wear safety glasses during the entire maintenance process. Failure
to comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Always wear a respirator when changing the
dust collection bags on
the dust collector.
Sawdust may cause
allergic reactions or
respiratory problems.
Always wear a respirator or dust mask and safety glasses when emptying the collection bags.
Small dust particles can escape the bags during
emptying, causing them to become airborne and
easily inhaled. This microscopic airborne dust is
extremely unhealthy to breathe and can cause
serious health problems.

SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE
-24- G0548 2 HP Dust Collector
Figure 25. Move canister handle back and forth.
While the Model G0548 excels at collecting the
majority of wood dust produced by your
machines, it is not an air filter; therefore, 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 dust collector bags
cannot trap.
To clean the canister filters:
1. Move the canister handle back and forth to
free trapped dust particles from the filter
(Figure 25). The particles will fall into the collection bag.
To empty the collection bag:
1. Make sure you are wearing a repirator and
the dust collector is unplugged.
2. When the collection bag is full, unclamp the
collection bag and dispose of the dust.
3. Install a new collection bag.
