1.1 Safety instructions for general machinery
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages 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.

For your own safety, read instruction manual before operating the machine. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards peculiar.
Always wear approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles everyday. Eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.
Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear an approved respirator to reduce your risk.
Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
Keep hands and clothing away from moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips which could cause a loss of workpiece control.
Dirty or contaminated personal protective equipment can cause illness. Clean your personal protective equipment after each use and once a week.
1.2 Safety instructions for dust collector
Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using dust collectors without proper use of a respirator. Fire or explosions can result in smoke inhalation, serious burns,
or death—if machine is used to collect incorrect materials, is operated near potential explosion sources, or ducting is improperly grounded. Entanglement, amputation, or death can occur if hair, clothing, or fingers are pulled into the inlet. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
INTENDED USE
HAZARDOUS DUST
DUST ALLERGIES
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.

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
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 were 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. 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.
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. 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. 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.

4.1 Required CFMs
Si
nce 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). 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.
Machine dust port Size Approximate Required CFM
2" 2.5"
100 150 250 400 600 850 1200 1600 2000 2500
3" 4" 5" 6" 7" 8" 9" 10"
5. Mainte
Daily
• Empty the collection bag before it overflows; wear a dust mask whilst removing and emptying the bag.
Weekly
• Check the inlet and outlet duct and remove any accumulated sawdust.
• Check the inlet hoses for splits and cracks; repair as necessary.
• Check the dust collection bag for wear and tear, especially around the neck of the
retaining clip. If wear or fraying is occurring, replace the bag.
• Check the motor for dust, sawdust, shavings etc, build up. If this has occurred, clean with a vacuum cleaner.
CAUTION:
nance
ONNECT THE EXTRACTOR FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
DISC CONTINUING.
Dust exposure created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Always wear goggles and a NIOSH approved respirator when working with the dust collection bags or canisters.
