Additional Safety Instr
uctions
Specific to this Dust Collector
Because each shop situation is unique, no list of safety guidelines can ever be
complete. The most important safety feature in any shop is the knowledge and good
judgement of the user. Use common sense and always keep safety considerations, as they apply
to your individual shop situation first and foremost in mind. If you have any doubts about the
safety of an operation you are about to perform: STOP! Do not perform the operation until
you have validated from qualified individuals if the operation is safe to perfor m and
what is the safest method to perform it.
7. Before connecting the machine to the power
source, verify that the voltage of your power supply corresponds with the voltage specified on the
motor I.D. nameplate. A power source with greater
voltage than needed can result in serious injury to
the user as well as damage to the machine. If in
doubt, contact a qualified electrician before connecting to the power source.
8.
The high speed blower fan inside the blower housing
can amputate fingers, grab loose clothes or neckties.
DO NOT insert fingers or any foreign object into the
blower housing.
9.
The sound level of this machine is rated at approximately 80 db during operation. Make sure that adequate hearing protection is used and that the overall
sound level within the work environment is taken
into consideration.
1. Make sure that the operator has been properly
trained and has read, and understands the owners manual before operating any machinery.
2. This dust collector is intended for indoor use for dry
dust collection only. To limit the risk of electrical
shock, do not use this unit outdoors or on or near
wet surfaces, and do not use this unit to collect or
vacuum liquids, nor wet or damp materials.
3. Always unplug the machine from the power
source before servicing, unclogging or cleaning
the unit.
4.
Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be
hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area
and wear face, eye, ear, respiratory and body protection devices.
5. Do not operate this dust collector with a damaged or malfunctioning switch; replace a damaged
or malfunctioning switch immediately.
6. Protect the power cord from damage. Be mindful
of the location of the power cord particularly when
moving the dust collector. Avoid crushing, rolling
over, s tepping on, cutting or in any way kinking or
damaging the cord or it’s plug.Avoid power cord
contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces or corrosive
chemicals or substances. Do not operate this dus t
collector with a damaged power cord or plug.
Replace a damaged power cord or plug at the
first signs of damage.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 3prong 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 eletrician before proceeding.
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 depar tment.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE,VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
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.
