- 4 - G1163 Portable Dust Collector
Additional Safety Instructions For The Dust
Collector
4. Suspended dust particles in conjunction 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.
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 collector, unplug the power cord
from the outlet or throw the disconnect and
wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove col-
lection 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
collector to pick up liquids and metal scrap
including, 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
material 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 corrected with the power disconnected
and after everything has come to a com-
plete stop.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your indi-
vidual working conditions. Use this and other
machinery with caution and respect.
Failure
to do so could result in serious personal
injury, damage to equipment or poor work
results.
