Additional Safety Instructions For Dust Collectors
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommend-
ed accessories. The use of improper acces-
sories may cause risk of injury.
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 align-
ment 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. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
4. Suspended dust particles in conjuction with an
ingnition sourse, may cause an explosion.
DO
NOT operate the dust collector in areas where
explosion risks would be high if dust were dis-
persed into the area. Areas of high risk
include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot
lights and/or open flames.
5. DO NOT allow steel to strike against steel
which may produce a spark. Sparks can smol-
der in wood dust for a long time before fire or
flame is detected. If metal contacts metal dur-
ing operation, immediately turn off the dust
collector, unplug the power cord from the out-
let or throw the disconnect 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 and 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.
1. This dust collector is to be used for wood dust
collection only.
DO NOT use this dust collec-
tor to pick up liquids and metal scrap includ-
ing, 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 mate-
rial and testing suction.
The impeller could
cause serious damage to body parts if
touched while spinning.
3. Problems concerned with any moving part(s)
or accessories must be investigated and cor-
rected with the power disconnected and after
everything has come to a complete stop.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
