SAFETY
W1666, W1685 Dust Collectors
Safety Instructions for Dust Collectors
1. AVOIDING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Never operate the dust collector without the dust bags and
ducting installed.
2. SAFE SERVICING: Always turn off and unplug the dust collector, and allow the impeller to come to
a complete stop before emptying the dust bags, moving the dust collector, or removing ducting.
3. KEEPING LIMBS CLEAR: Always keep hands and fingers and tools away from the dust collector suc-
tion port.
4. PROTECTING BYSTANDERS: Never leave the dust collector running and unattended, or an uncon-
trolled machine could suffer damage or injure bystanders.
5. USING DUST COLLECTOR SAFELY: Never use the dust collector to collect any other dust than
wood dust, and never allow steel, stones, or hard material to be drawn into the dust collector
and come in contact with the impeller, or the impeller can explode.
6. KEEPING MACHINE SAFE: Do Not modify this dust collector for any purpose other than what it is
designed for or you may damage the machine, void warranty, and cause an unsafe condition.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING: If you are experiencing difficulties with dust collector setup or use, contact
Woodstock Technical Support or ask a qualified expert for solutions.
8. REDUCING FIRE HAZARDS: Make sure the dust collector ducting is grounded against static elec-
tricity buildup, and never use the dust collector in a wet or flammable environment.
9. AVOIDING LUNG CONTAMINATION: Always wear an approved respirator during dust collector use,
the bag is not a safe substitute for a respirator.
10. SAFE WOODSHOP OPERATIONS: Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in
your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may
occur if safety and operational
information is not understood
and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
