G1032 Dust Collector -3-
Additional Safety Instructions For Dust Collectors
17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
18. CHECK FOR 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. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
4. Problems concerned with any moving part(s)
or accessories must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected and after
everything has come to a complete stop.
5. DO NOT allow steel to strike against steel
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 throw the disconnect 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 and 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.
1. This dust collector is to be used for wood dust
collection only. DO NOT use this dust collec-
tor to pick up liquids and metal scrap including
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 unclogging material and testing suc-
tion. The impeller could cause serious dam-
age to body parts if touched while spinning.
3. Suspended dust particles in conjunction 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 areas near pilot lights and/or open
flames.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
14. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
15. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
