BEFORE USING THE DUST COLLECTOR

r!_l,Vlv/_,l..l#ii#[ell

To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions

before operating the Dust Collector.

Jr!_l,Vlv/.'l-'l#II#[ell

1. Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

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, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

2. READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.

3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a

3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact

electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground the tool and provide protection against

accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the 3rd

prong. See Grounding Instructions.

4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRON- MENT. DO NOT use electrical tools in a damp

environment or expose them to rain.

5. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of

flammable liquids or gasses.

6. ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and

organized. DO NOT work in an environment with floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease,

and wax.

7, KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT

permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an opera- tion for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations

for which the tool was intended.

9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. These items

can get caught in the machine during operations and pull the operator into the moving parts. The

user must wear a protective cover on their hair, if the hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.

10. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw debris into the eyes during opera- tions, which could cause severe and permanent eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety

glasses. ALWAYS Wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when operating

power tools. Safety Goggles are available at Sears

Retail Stores.

11.

ALWAYS WEAR HEARING PROTECTION. Plain cotton is not an acceptable protective device.

Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 Standards.

12.

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELEC- TRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments,

changing parts or performing any maintenance.

13.

KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN

WORKING ORDER.

14.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position before

plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.

15. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area prior to turning the tool "ON".

16. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use of incorrect or improper accessories could

cause serious injury to the operator and cause damage to the tool. If in doubt, check the instruction

manual that comes with that particular accessory.

17. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the "OFF" position. DO

NOT leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

18. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over or you accidentally contact the tool.

19.

DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.

20.MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend your-

self over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber-soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.

21. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades

and tool bits sharp.

22. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAM- AGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL.

Carefully check all guards to see that they operate

properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or

replaced.

23. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov-

ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

24. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-

ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

25. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use clamps or jigs to secure the work-piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the work-piece with

your hands.

26. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING,

AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE A TOOL WHILE

TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

27. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT

INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica

dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well

ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.

Use dust collection system whenever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breating the dust, and avoid prolonged

contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your

mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash

exposed areas with soap and water.

28. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be

sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Please see minimum recom-

mended gauge for extension cords (AWG) table for correct sizing of an extension cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an

extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating. USE

ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

GUIDELINES FOR

EXTENSION CORDS

If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to

indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE iN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK- DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance

for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This toot is equipped with an electric cord that

has an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground- ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and

ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not

fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical

receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip-

ment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric

shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or

without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding

conductor to a live terminal. CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel

if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the toot is properly

grounded. The motor supplied with your Dust Collector is a dual

voltage 115/230 volt, single-phase motor. It is shipped wired for 115 orl20-volt application. Never connect the

greenwire to a live terminal. See OPERATING DUST COLLECTOR section for directions on changing motor voltage.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDI-

ATELY.
