GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operating a Dust Collector can be dangerous if safety
and common sense are ignored. The operator must be
familiar with the operation of the tool. Read this manual
to understand this Dust Collector. DO NOT operate this
Dust Collector if you do not fully understand the limita-
tions of this toot. DO NOT modify this Dust Collector in
any way. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your
responsibility.
BEFORE USING THE DUST COLLECTOR
To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read
and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions
before operating the Dust Collector.
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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
2.
READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to
use the toot 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, welt 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.
8.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an opera-
tion for which it was not designed. It wilt 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 putt 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 $3.19
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 toot until it has come to a complete
stop.
18.
DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could
result if the toot 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 toot to reach it.

24. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-
ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
25. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure
the workpiece. This is safer than attempting to hold
the workpiece 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 toot in well ventilat-
ed area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure
to the dust may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a
serious tung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing 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 tool 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 or 120-volt application. Never connect
the green wire 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.
