GENERAL SAFETY
!
WARNING
TO AVOID serious injury and damage to the machine,
ead and follow all Safety and Operating Instructions
r
before assembling and operating this machine.
his manual is not totally comprehensive. It does not
T
and can not convey every possible safety and operational problem which may arise while using this
machine. The manual will cover many of the basic and
specific safety procedures needed in an industrial environment.
All federal and state laws and any regulations having
jurisdiction covering the safety requirements for use of
this machine take precedence over the statements in
this manual. Users of this machine must adhere to all
such regulations.
Below is a list of symbols that are used to attract your
attention to possible dangerous conditions.
!
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or
death.
!
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
!
WARNING
Exposure to the dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust,
and avoid prolonged contact with dust. The dust
may contain 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.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use a dust collection
system along with an air filtration system whenever
possible. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
!
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
!
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, if not avoid-
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also
ed,
be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indi-
cates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the machine.
1. To avoid serious injury and damage to the machine,

current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This
machine is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding 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.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify
the plug. If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have
a qualified electrician install the proper connections to

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1
shows a NEMA approved 3-wire, 15 amp electrical plug
and receptacle that have a grounding conductor. If a
properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available,
an adapter as shown in Figure 1-2 can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it
that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground,
such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THIS
ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.

EXTENSION CORDS
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the
proper gauge of extension cord. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter
of the extension cord is. 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.
Fig. 1-2
!
CAUTION
USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong
grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the
machine’s plug.
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.
Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and
in good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately 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.

WARNING
1. DO NOT assemble the Air Cleaner until you are
sure the tool IS NOT plugged in.
2. DO NOT assemble the Air Cleaner until you are
sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position.
3. For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine
to the power source until the machine is completely
assembled and you read and understand the entire
Owner’s Manual.
The Air Cleaner can be used as a portable or stationary
unit. As a portable unit it can be moved and placed
near the work to be done. As a stationary unit it can be
hung overhead in the shop. Determine which type of
use is best fitted for your applications and proceed to
that section in the assembly instructions.
PORTABLE UNIT ASSEMBLY
MAKE CERTAIN THE AIR CLEANER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
1. Place the Air Cleaner on its side. Locate the selfadhesive rubber pads supplied with the unit.
Carefully place one rubber pad on each bottom
corner of the Air Cleaner. The rubber pads will help
eliminate vibration and noise.

FUNCTION
his Air Cleaner is furnished with two filters: an outer
T
pre-filter which filters particles that are five microns and
larger, and a secondary disposable three-pocket inner
filter that captures 91% of the dust particles that are
one micron and larger (one micron = one millionth of
a meter). The Air Cleaner will filter the air in a room
measuring 20’ x 20’ x 8’ sixteen times an hour. If
desired, multiple units can be used to filter larger areas.
CONNECTING TOOL
TO POWER SOURCE
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
tools. This circuit should not be less than #14 A.W.G.
wire and should be protected with a 15-amp time lag
fuse. Have a qualified electrician repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately. Before connecting the
motor to the power line, make certain the switch is in
the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor
nameplate. All line connections should make good
contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The Air Cleaner is supplied with an in-line rocker switch
(A) located on the power cord. To START or STOP the
unit, press downward on the rocker switch.
NOTE: The Air Cleaner may produce a slight odor for
the first couple hours of operation due to the protective
coating which is applied to internal components. This
odor will dissipate and should be disregarded.
!
WARNING
DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO FILTER METAL DUST.
Combining wood and metal dust can create an explosion or fire hazard. 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.

2. Lift up and pull out on the bottom of the electrostatic filter (A). See figure 1-1.
. Both the electrostatic filter and the three-pocket

inner filter should be replaced once a year. The
electrostatic filter should be cleaned once a month
or more often depending on use. When there is a
eavy build up of dust on the electrostatic filter,
h
it should be cleaned. The three-pocket inner filter
cannot be cleaned. If either filter is torn, bent or
damaged in any way, it should be replaced immediately.
The electrostatic filter can be cleaned in one of
three methods. Method one is using a shop-vac to
remove the dust. Method two is using compressed
air to blow the dust out of the filter. Method three is
to wash with soap and water.
!
WARNING
Compressed air can be dangerous. For operator
safety, DO NOT exceed an air pressure of 30 PSI or
point air nozzle toward anyone or aim nozzle at
your own body. Always wear safety glasses and
dust mask when performing this procedure.
