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.

SHOP PLACEMENT / SPACE CONSIDERATIONS
Because each shop situation is unique, the following factors should be taken into consideration when determining
and before deciding on the ideal installation to best suit your shop dust collection needs.
The unit should be installed as close to the dust source(s) as possible. This unit is mounted on caster s and as such
the dust collector can be moved from one location to another within the shop if a permanent installation location
is not practical or desired.
In all cases the unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy and stable surface that is able to suppor t the weight of the
unit (198 lbs - 90 kg) as well as the weight of the operator. The casters should be blocked to prevent the unit from
moving when it is in use.
This model 10-800CF M1
is equipped with a 5” main hose
inlet that is fitted with a dual-inlet “Y” fitting allowing you to
connect up to two 4”dust hoses .
Consider the space requirements for the unit and its use
when deciding where to install your dust collector in your
shop.
5”
32”
70”
4”
4”
52 3⁄4”
Wherever possible avoid running hoses and ducting along
the floor.
Keep hoses and ducting safely mounted along the walls.
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 re-commended installations.
HOSES AND DUCTING RUNNING ALONG THE SHOP FLOOR BETWEEN MACHINERY CAN CAUSE USERS TO TRIP AND LEAD TO
SERIOUS INJURY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL
With the unit plugged into an appropriate outlet and the
“POWER”switch in the “On” position, A, the “Power” indicator light B will light up, indicating that electr ical current is
flowing into the machine.
The “ON/OFF”button C on the control panel is used to turn
the dust collector ON or OFF.When the unit is on,the “Run”
indicator D will also light up.
With the unit turned on in “Run”mode,pressing the “TIMER”
button E activates the timer.
Note: the timer feature can only be activated when the unit is
turned on with the “Run” indicator lit.When the “Timer” button
is pressed once, the dust collector will run for 1 hour. You can
increase the programmed run time, in 1 hour increments, with
each successive push on the timer button.
The appropriate timer indicator light, or combination of
lights, F, will light up to show the total number of hours for
which the machine is set to run. The machine will automatically stop running at the end of this programmed
time period.
If desired, to cancel the timer setting before the completion of the programmed time period, simply turn the unit
off,using either the Power switch A on the control panel or
the START/STOP button on the remote control (see section
