ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
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 110 V 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.
A
B
C
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong 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.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
LAYING OUT A PLAN FOR THE PIPING
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.
HOSES AND DUCTING RUNNING ALONG THE SHOP FLOOR BETWEEN MACHINERY CAN CAUSE USERS TO TRIP
AND LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY.
Wherever possible avoid running hoses and ducting
along the floor.
Keep hoses and ducting safely mounted along the
walls.

The switch assembly is equipped with a green “start”
button A, and a red “stop” button B.
Once the stop button has been pressed, the machine
can only be started by turning the button to the right
to release it.
The remote control C offers the exact same On/Off function as the magnetic switch, from virtually anywhere in
the shop within the line of sight of the machine.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
A
B
C
The magnetic safety switch on this machine is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an electrical overload from damaging the motor, in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal
overload protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
Common causes of such overloads:
• Overworking the motor, thereby causing an increase in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
• An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an increase in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the
chart in the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
• Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure
the circuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other
electrical devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
To reset the overload protection switch after it has been tripped proceed as follows:
D
E
1. Loosen the two screws D with a Phillips screwdriver
until you can remove the switch cover.
20
2. Press on the button E to reset the overload protection. Re-install the cover and then retighten the two
screws D before starting the machine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKLIST BEFORE STARTING
ALWAYS TURN ON THE DUST COLLECTOR BEFORE STARTING YOUR DUST PRODUCING MACHINE AND ALWAYS STOP THE
DUST PRODUCING MACHINE BEFORE TURNING OFF THE DUST COLLECTOR.
•
To minimize airborne dust make sure that all hoses, fittings and clamps are secure and airtight.
•
Never operate the machine without a canister filter and plastic collector bag properly installed.
•
For maximum system efficiency, make sure a cover is installed on any unused hose inlet openings.
Note: The sound level of this machine is rated at approximately 84 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.
MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• 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, if damaged or perforated.
• Periodically inspect inside all pipes, fittings, hoses, blast gates, and connectors for accumulated dust buildup 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 canister 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.
CLEANING OR REPLACING THE CANISTER FILTER
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.
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 or if the
pressure gauge indicates , it may be a sign that it is time to clean the filter.
Note: When the pressure gauge shows a higher than normal pressure, this indicates that the filter is becoming clogged
and requires cleaning.
A
For basic cleaning, turn off and unplug the machine,
then simply rotate the handle on the canister A several
rotations. The internal flaps will rub against the corrugated inner filter and shake free any built-up dust from
inside the filter.
For a more thorough cleaning, after rotating the handle,
detach the canister and place it on the ground. Vacuum the inside of the canister to remove any remaining
dust from inside. Re-attach the canister and re-install its
collector bag.
21
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
EMPTYING THE COLLECTOR BAG & DRUM
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 A and remove the collector
bag. Open the drum latches, lower the quick-remove handle and roll the drum out from beneath
the machine B.
Note: The reference line on the drum window indicates
when the maximum chip level has been reached.
3. Empty the bags in an appropriate container or
dispose of the bags making sure to comply with
all local codes and regulations regarding waste
disposal.
4. Re-install the emptied bags or install new bags as
needed.
