ed, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any me-
ication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
d
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of
debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the
dust collector is in operation; do not permit them to
operate the dust collector.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all
machinery with locks, master electrical switches and
switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised
use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.
Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious
injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be haz-
ardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and
wear face, eye, ear, respiratory and body protection
devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck-
laces or other jewelry while the dust collector is in

needed.
11. Do not handle the electrical plug with wet hands.
12. Do not use this unit outdoors, on or near wet surfaces.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
13. Always turn on the dust collector before starting the
dust producing machine. Always turn off the dust pro-
ucing machine before turning off the dust collector.
d
14. Do not vacuum anything that is burning, smoking or
smoldering such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
15. Do not vacuum or use this dust collector near flamma-
ble or combustible liquids, gases, gasoline or other

sories NOT recommended by GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL may result in a risk of injury or damage to the
machine.
20. Always disconnect the unit from the power source
before servicing, performing any maintenance or
repairs and when changing bags or hoses, or if the
machine will be left unattended.
21. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF”position before
plugging in the power cord.
22. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE-
PONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN
S
NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUAL-
FIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
I
HIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
T
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A
B
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The
motor of this machine is wired for 110V single phase
operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug A to fit a grounded
type receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong
(grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall
socket or extension cord.If an adaptor plug is used C,
it must be attached to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician before
proceeding.
C
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your
machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating
on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse
blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a
circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist
and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified
technician or our service department.

UNPACKING
Carefully unpack and remove the components from the box and check for damaged or missing items as per the
list of contents below.
NOTE: Please report any damaged or missing items to your General International distributor immediately.
For permanent installations, it is advisable to map out a rough layout of your planned installation starting from the
dust collector out to all the machines that you wish to connect to the system. You may vary your layout to suit your
specific shop needs and may choose to use metal or plastic ducting, or flexible hose in any combination as
suited to your needs.
Note: To avoid accidents as well as damage to ducting or hoses, plan your installation with hoses and ducting
running along walls or mounted from above wherever possible. See the accompanying examples of non-recommended and recommended installations.
Wherever possible avoid running hoses and ducting
along the floor.
HOSES AND DUCTING RUNNING ALONG THE SHOP FLOOR BETWEEN MACHINERY CAN CAUSE USERS TO TRIP AND LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICING
MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION AND UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
This machine operates on 110 V; if you suspect any electrical problems call a qualified electrician to do the verification of the electrical circuit or the machine. If you need further help with your dust collector contact your
General® International distributor or our Technical Service Department at 1-888-949-1161.
•All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated. No further lubrication is needed.
•Periodically inspect all hardware, fittings and fasteners that may have loosened due to vibration - retighten
as needed.
•Keep the outside of the unit clean and wipe off excessive dust or dirt with a dry rag.
•Clean the canister filter on a regular basis and replace as needed.
•Periodically inspect inside all pipes, fittings, hoses, blast gates, and connectors for accumulated dust
build-up or other obstructions, and clean as needed. Remove sections and vacuum or manually remove
debris as needed.
•Check and if necessary replace all damaged parts or components.
•Do not operate with a damaged canister filter - replace damaged filter immediately.
•Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If necessary, replace the power cord and plug
at the first signs of visible damage.
•Use only recommended parts and accessories. The use of parts or accessories NOT recommended by
GENERAL® INTERNATIONAL may result in a risk of injury or damage to the machine.
TURN THE SWITCH TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING OR
REPLACING CANISTER FILTER OR BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
CLEANING OR REPLACING
Note: Depending on your needs, shop situation and local regulations, collections bags
can be emptied and re-used or disposed of (with their contents) and replaced with a
new bag.
1. Turn off and unplug the machine.
2. Unclip the bag clamp and remove the bag from the machine.
3. Empty the bag (or simply dispose of the bag and its contents and replace
with a new bag) disposing of the contents in a safe and responsible manner
that complies with all local codes and regulations regarding waste disposal.
4. Re-install the bag and re-attach the clamp
CLEANING OR REPLACING THE CANISTER FILTER
After a period of time depending on the frequency of use, the canister filter may
become clogged and affect airflow as well the overall efficiency of the unit.
Should you notice a drop in the efficiency or performance of the unit, it may be
a sign that it is time to clean the filter. If so, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off and unplug the machine.
2. For basic cleaning, simply rotate the handle on the top of the canister sever-
al rotations. The internal flap will rub against the corrugated inner filter and
shake free any built-up dust from inside the filter.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, after rotating the handle, unclip the belt
clamps and remove the canister from the machine and place it on the
ground upside down.
4. Vacuum the inside of the canister to remove any remaining dust from inside.
5. Re-install the canister and re-attach the clamp.
