by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention
measures.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
may contain chemicals, including lead, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment
such as dust masks specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

OPERATING LOCATION
This dust collector is only intended for collecting wood dust and
chips from woodworking machines. Do not use this dust collector
to collect metal, dirt, pebbles, drywall, asbestos, lead paint, silica,
liquids, aerosols, or any flammable, combustible, or hazardous
materials.
Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth
defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each work piece material, and always
wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
Dust from certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people
and animals.
Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to in case there is a possibility of an allergic reaction.
Fine dust that is too small to be caught in the filter will be blown
into the ambient air during operation. Always wear a NIOSHapproved respirator during operation and for a short time after to
reduce your risk of permanent respiratory damage.
When emptying dust from the collection container, wear a
respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust away from ignition
sources and into an approved container.
Turn the switch off, disconnect the dust collector from the power
supply, and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before
leaving the machine unattended or doing any service, cleaning,
maintenance, or adjustments.
Do not operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks
are high. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to, areas
near pilot lights, open flames, or other ignition sources.
Only operate the dust collector in locations that contain a fire
suppression system or have a fire extinguisher nearby.
Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during
operation for any reason. The powerful suction could easily cause
accidental contact with the impeller, which will cause serious
personal injury or damage to the machine. Always keep small
animals and children away from open dust collection inlets.
Do not allow steel or rocks to strike the impeller—this may produce
sparks. Sparks can smolder in wood dust for a long time before a
fire is detected. If you accidentally cut into wood containing tramp
metal (nails, staples, spikes, etc.), immediately turn off the dust
collector, disconnect it from power, and wait for the impeller to
stop—then empty the collection container into an approved airtight
metal container.
To reduce respiratory exposure to fine dust, locate permanently
installed dust collectors away from the working area, or in another
room that is equipped with a smoke detector. Do not operate the
dust collector in rainy or wet locations—exposure to water may
create a shock hazard or decrease the life of the machine.

Page 7
STATIC ELECTRICITY
Plastic dust lines generate high amounts of static electricity as dust
chips pass through them. Although rare, sparks caused by static
electricity can cause explosions or fire. To reduce this risk, make
sure all dust lines are thoroughly grounded by Using a grounding
wire.
REGULAR CLEANING
Regularly check/empty the collection bags or drum to avoid the
buildup of fine dust that can increase the risk of fire. Make sure to
regularly clean the surrounding area where the machine is
operated—excessive dust buildup on overhead lights, heaters,
electrical panels, or other heat sources will increase the risk of fire.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.
Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use
this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If
normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

4. Operation
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand. Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended
to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual, seek
additional training from experienced machine operators, and do additional research outside of this
manual by reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read
books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any projects.
This cyclone dust collector creates a vortex of incoming air that extracts heavy wood chips and large
dust particles, and then drops them into the collection drum.
The remaining fine dust travels past the impeller and is then caught by a canister filter and deposited
in the plastic collection bag below. The spun-bond polyester filters are pleated to provide maximum
surface area for efficient air flow.
To maintain CFM during heavy dust-collection operations, turn the filter cleaning handle to knock
caked-on dust into the plastic collection bag.
Always lock the front two swivel casters before operation.

The top one is stop button.
The middle one is timer, which we could timing the machine to run at
2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 horus.
The bottom buttons is ON to start the machine.
Note: The remote control requires one 23A 12V battery for
operation.
4.1.2 Control box
Except controlling the machine by remote
control, the three buttons on the control box
could be also used when need.
Green for ON: start the machine.
Yellow for TIMER: timing the running time.
Red for OFF: Turnoff the machine.
Besides, a digital readout on the panel is
used to show the running time.

4.2 Tips for optimum performance
▲ Avoid using more than 10' of flexible hose on any ducting line. The ridges inside flexible hose
greatly increase static pressure loss, which reduces suction performance.
▲ Keep ducts between the dust collector and machines as short as possible.
▲ Keep ducting directional changes to a minimum. The more curved fittings you use, the greater the
loss of suction at the dust-producing machine.
▲ Gradual directional changes are more efficient than sudden directional changes (i.e. use 45°
elbows in place of 90° elbows whenever possible).
▲ The simpler the system, the more efficient and less costly it will be.
4.3 Required CFMs
Since each machine produces a different amount of sawdust, the requirements for the minimum
amount of CFM to move that sawdust is unique to the machine (for example, a planer produces more
sawdust than a table saw). Knowing this required CFM is important to gauging which size of duct to
use.
Refer to the figure below for a close estimation of the airflow each machine requires. Keep in mind
that machines that generate the most sawdust should be placed closest to the dust collector. If the
machine has multiple dust ports, the total CFM required is the sum of all ports.
