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 do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associated
with this machine. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions
are overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
Additional Safety for Dust Collectors
6. AVOIDING FIRES. Do not allow steel to
strike against impeller—this 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 prob-
lem before resuming operation.
7. OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Then contact our Tech
Support or ask a qualified expert how the
operation should be performed.
8. DUST HAZARD. 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 aller-
gic reaction. Always wear an approved
respirator during and for a short time after
machine operation!
9. CLEANING AIR. Do not confuse this dust
collector with an air cleaner. This dust col-
lector is only designed to collect dust from
a machine, not clean dust suspended in the
air.
1. MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust col-
lector to pick up liquids and metal scrap
including, but not limited to, nails and fil-
ings. Also, do not pick up material which
cannot safely pass through the impeller
such as solid wood scraps.
2. KEEPING FINGERS SAFE. 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. SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and
allow impeller to completely stop before
servicing or working on the dust collector
ducting system.
4. SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND
IGNITION SOURCES. 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 or
open flames.
5. EMPTYING DUST. When emptying dust
from the collection bags or drum, wear a
respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust
into an approved container and dispose of
properly.
