Additional Safety Instructions For
The Dust Collector
5. DO NOT ALLOW STEEL TO STRIKE
AGAINST STEEL 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 col-
lector, 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 depart-
ment or ask a qualified expert how the oper-
ation 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 respira-
tor!
1. THIS DUST COLLECTOR IS TO BE USED
FOR WOOD DUST COLLECTION ONLY.
Do not use this dust collector to pick up liq-
uids and metal scrap including, but not lim-
ited to, nails and filings. Metallic debris will
contact the spinning impeller and could
spark. The spark could then cause a saw-
dust 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 spin-
ning.
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 com-
plete. 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 con-
nected woodworking machines. A dust col-
lector should NEVER be used as an air
cleaner. For safest use, wear a dust mask
and use an air cleaner in addition to the
dust collector.
