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 detect-
ed. If metal contacts metal during operation,
immediately turn off the dust collector,
unplug the power cord from the outlet 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. Remedy
the metal to metal contact problem before
resuming operation.
6. WHEN EMPTYING DUST FROM THE COL-
LECTION 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 and the possibility of a 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 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 PART(S) 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.
