WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
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.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It is safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Safety Instructions for Power Tools
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before
reconnecting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. Know
what conditions can create “kickback” and
know how to avoid them. Thoroughly read
the manual accompanying the machine.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.

Additional Safety For Dust Collectors
5. DO NOT ALLOW STEEL TO STRIKE
AGAINST IMPELLER WHICH MAY PRODUCE A SPARK. Sparks can smolder in
wood dust for a long time before fire or
flame is detected. If metal contacts metal
during operation, immediately turn off the
dust collector, unplug the power cord from
the outlet or flip the disconnect switch and
wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove
collection bags and empty the dust into an
approved air tight metal container in case of
spark. Remedy the metal to metal contact
problem before resuming operation.
6. WHEN EMPTYING DUST FROM THE
COLLECTION BAGS, wear a respirator
and safety glasses. Empty dust into an
approved container and dispose of properly.
7. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, stop using the
machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.
8. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS
MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC reaction in
people and animals, especially when
exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to in case there is a possibility of an allergic
reaction. Always wear an approved respirator!
1. THIS DUST COLLECTOR IS TO BE USED
FOR WOOD DUST COLLECTION ONLY.
Do not use this dust collector to pick up liquids and metal scrap including, but not limited to, nails and filings. Metallic debris will
contact the spinning impeller and could
spark. The spark could then cause a sawdust explosion and severe fire hazard. Also,
do not pick up material which cannot safely
pass through the impeller such as solid
wood scraps.
2. DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS OR
TOOLS NEAR THE OPEN INLET during
operation for any reason including, but not
limited to, unclogging material and testing
suction. The impeller could cause serious
damage to body parts if touched while spinning.
3. PROBLEMS CONCERNED WITH ANY
MOVING PARTS or accessories must be
investigated and corrected with the power
disconnected and after everything has
come to a complete stop.
4. SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES IN CON-
JUNCTION WITH AN IGNITION SOURCE,
may cause an explosion. Do not operate the
dust collector in areas where explosion risks
would be high if dust were dispersed into
the area. Areas of high risk include, but are
not limited to, areas near pilot lights and/or
open flames.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
DO NOT use the dust collector for any other
purpose besides collecting dust from connected woodworking machines. A dust collector should NEVER be used as an air
cleaner. For safest use, wear a respirator
and use an air cleaner in addition to the
dust collector.

Commentary
SECTION 2: GENERAL INFORMATION
-6- G0548 2 HP Dust Collector
The Model G0548 features a single phase 220V
2 HP motor.
Amperage Draw
220V .................................................... 12 Amps
Use the following guidelines when choosing a circuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are
not adequate to protect the circuit):
Circuit Breaker
220V ..........................................15 Amp, 2 Pole
Figure 1. NEMA 6-15 plug and receptacle.
We recommend using a NEMA 6-15 plug (Figure
1). You may also “hard-wire” the dust collector
directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical
codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements. The motor is wired according to the diagram in Figure 1a.

Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
with 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords. Should
the situation be necessary to use an extension,
make sure the cord is rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better. The extension cord must also
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair
or replace extension cords when they become
worn or damaged.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Always check to see if 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 electrician.
