DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO FILTER
METAL DUST. Combining wood and
metal dust can create an explosion or
fire hazard. This unit is intended to filter
non-explosive atmospheres only.
DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO DISSIPATE
FUMES OR SMOKE. Explosions or fire can
result. This air cleaner is intended for use
where only dry airborne dust is present.
Its use should be limited to non-
explosive, non-metallic atmospheres.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
A unit incorrectly assembled can cause injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this unit. Knowledge is
safety.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent electrical shock or
electrocution.
4. DO NOT LIFT THIS UNIT BY THE POWER CORD.
Do not use the power cord as a hanging device. A
damaged power cord can cause electrical shock or
electrocution.
5. SECURELY ANCHOR THIS UNIT to a permanent or
fixed supporting structure when suspending it from
the ceiling. A falling unit can cause serious injury.
Always keep a minimum of 7 feet between the
bottom of the unit and the floor surface to allow for
sufficient head clearance. Use only a chain rated for
a minimum of 150 lb. working load to adequately
hold the unit. Use steel S-Hooks that are at least
1/4" in diameter to suspend the unit from the ceiling.
Lag-type bolts used to suspend the unit from the
ceiling must be threaded at least 1-1/2" into
supporting structural members.
6. SUPPORT THIS UNIT or securely clamp it to the
work surface when it is used in a portable
application to eliminate potential injury and/or
damage to the unit.
7. ENSURE THAT THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST
AREAS ARE CLEAR prior to starting the unit.
Clogged intakes or exhausts can cause an
explosion and/or fire.
8. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS AWAY
FROM THE FAN. Avoid all exposure to rotating
parts to prevent injury.
9. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT THE
FILTERS IN PLACE. Dust and other small debris
will go directly to the motor, causing over-heating
and the potential for fire and/or explosion.
10. DO NOT ATTEMPT to remove or replace the filter(s)
while the unit is running. Exposed fan blades can cause
severe cuts. Make certain that the unit is
disconnected from the power source.
11. MAINTAIN THE UNIT in top condition. Clogged
filters can increase the potential for fire or
explosion. Follow all instructions for changing and
cleaning filters.
12. STORE THE UNIT in a location that eliminates
the potential for damage to the power cord. A
damaged power cord can cause shock or
electrocution. Safely store power cord on the unit
to eliminate tripping hazards.
13. TURN THE UNIT “OFF” and disconnect the unit
from the power source before installing or
removing accessories, before adjusting or
changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause serious injury.
