General Specifications
Q: Is this a single or two-stage dust collector?
A: The G0944 is a single-stage dust collector.
Q: Is the filter MERV rated?
A: The standard G0944 is not MERV-rated, but the G0944HEP model features a MERV-17 rated HEPA filter.
Q: What is the airflow capacity (CFM)?
A: The maximum airflow is 1280 CFM. With a static pressure of 2–3 inches, expect around 1000–1100 CFM.
Q: What does static pressure mean? Is it dangerous?
A: Static pressure measures the suction force in the system. It’s not dangerous and is used to evaluate system performance.
Q: How high does the unit need to be mounted?
A: The top of the dust collector should be mounted at least 88.5 inches from the floor.
Electrical & Operation
Q: Can this be wired for 220V?
A: No, the G0944 is designed to operate exclusively on 110V.
Q: Can it be operated with a wall switch instead of the remote?
A: Yes, if the outlet is wired to a switch, it can be operated independently of the remote. The unit also has on/off buttons on the junction box.
Q: Can I wire this into a 3-way circuit with switches near my tools?
A: No, the control board resets to off when power is interrupted. You must use the remote or ON button to restart the unit.
Q: How does the remote work?
A: The remote uses RF (radio frequency) and works up to 75 feet. However, metal walls may interfere with the signal.
Q: Can I mount the collector outside and still use the remote?
A: Possibly, but walls or barriers may interrupt the remote signal.
Q: I lost my remote. How can I get a replacement?
A: You can visit our Buy Parts page to order a replacement remote and other replacement parts.
Filtration & Maintenance
Q: How long does the filter last?
A: Filter lifespan depends on maintenance, type of sawdust, and moisture content.
Q: Can I pressure wash the filters?
A: No, do not pressure wash or get the pleated filter wet.
Q: Can I clean the HEPA filter with compressed air?
A: Avoid high-pressure air. Use the flapper handle regularly to clean the pleats from the inside.
Ducting & Hose Compatibility
Q: Is any hose included?
A: No hose is included. The unit comes with a 6" x 4" x 4" Y inlet adapter. You can view our hose options HERE.
Q: Can I use 4" hoses with this unit?
A: Yes, the Y adapter supports two 4" hose connections.
Q: Can I hard pipe 7 feet high with a 20-foot run?
A: Yes, but expect CFM loss depending on duct diameter and type. The W1050 Dust Collection Basics book is a helpful resource.
Q: Will this work with the Oneida Super Dust Deputy separator?
A: The G0944 has 1280 CFM, but compatibility depends on Oneida’s specs. Please consult Oneida directly.
Q: Can I use this for concrete or metal dust?
A: No, the G0944 is intended only for wood dust.
Q: Can I vent the system directly outside instead of using the bag and filter?
A: This is not recommended due to environmental concerns, health risks, and reduced efficiency.
Q: Can I remove the Y splitter and use a 6" hose directly to a separator?
A: Yes, removing the splitter and using a 6" hose is better for airflow. The rest depends on your setup.
Accessories & Parts
Q: Do you offer larger collection bags for this model?
A: No, the recommended bag size is 14.5” x 23”.
Q: Does this come with a warranty?
