Additional Safety for Air Filters

Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using this filter to capture hazardous dust without proper use of a respirator. Collecting flammable or combustible liquids, vapors, or explosive dusts can cause fire or explosions, resulting in smoke inhalation, serious burns, or death. An improperly secured air filter can fall, causing head injuries. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
LUNG PROTECTION. Fine dust that is too small
to be caught in filter will be blown into ambient air during operation. Always wear a NIOSH­approved respirator during operation and for a short time after to reduce your risk of permanent respiratory damage.
INTENDED USE. Using this filter regularly to collect prohibited materials can result in serious health problems. It is only designed to capture dust from ambient air in a woodworking shop for a short time after cutting or sanding operations. DO NOT use to collect particles of silica, polyure­thane, metal, lead paint, asbestos, or hazardous bacterium. DO NOT allow filter to collect explosive dusts, flammable, or combustible liquids or fumes, burning or smoking material, or toxic fumes. DO NOT connect directly to air filtration system. Only operate with filters installed.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust exposure may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Site Planning

Site planning is an important step to maximize the effectiveness of the hanging air filter. Air circulation must be thought out and all obstructions to the air path considered.
Think of air circulation in terms of the circular motion of the air before and after the air filter. The air exiting the filter is exhausted at a higher veloc­ity than that entering it. Consequently, exhaust being vented inside a building can have an effect on the pattern of air circulation.
Air circulation patterns will vary depending upon which method is used and according to your spe­cific shop setup. You can direct the flow of circula­tion on the air filter with the vents on the rear of the machine. These can optimize good layout and circulation, as shown in the Figure below.
The directional vents will have little effect if the air filter in

It is very important that the hanging air filter be supported properly. Please follow these
guidelines when planning where to mount the unit:
Where the eye bolts attach is the top of the unit. The hanging air filter can only be secured by the eye bolts on its top.
Make sure that an electrical outlet with a properly grounded receptacle is available at the location you choose.
The air filter must be supported by joists or studs capable of supporting at least 150 lbs when mounting the unit with eye bolts. DO NOT attach the hanging air filter to sheet rock, press board or paneling. These materials cannot support the filter, and it may fall.
Avoid hitting your head on the hanging air filter. Make sure there is enough clearance between the unit and the ground, especially important in a basement. If possible, position the air filter in an area that has little foot traffic, but still offers easy access to the switch and filters.

Mounting

ONLY mount the air filter unit to joists, wall studs, or table that can hold at least 150 lbs. DO NOT mount the unit only to sheet rock, pressboard, paneling, or honeycomb wall panels with expansion-type fasteners. The fasteners can tear out and the air filter can fall. Ignoring this caution can result in injury or property damage.

Filtering
Performance
The Model G9956 will recirculate the volume of air in a 20' x 20' x 8' room approximately 26 times in one hour.
We recommend that the volume of air in your room be recirculated at least 6-8 times every hour. Therefore, rooms with a larger volume will require two or more air filters to achieve proper filtering.
To calculate the recirculating rate for your shop space:
Step 1: Use the formula below to calculate how
long it takes to circulate all the volume of air in a room with the double air filter; where W = Width, L = Length and H = Height of your room, in feet. The maximum rate of air movement for the air filter is 1400 CFM.

Machine Storage

When the air filter is not in use, unplug the power cord from the power source. Place the cord away from potential damage sources, such as high traffic areas, sharp objects, heat sources, harsh chemicals, water, damp areas, etc.
W' x L' x H'
CFM
Example: 20' x 20' x 8'
Step 2: Calculate how many times per hour the volume is recirculated through the double air filter by dividing 60 minutes by the circulating time from Step 1. The result is listed as times per hour.
Example: 60
= Minutes for circulating 1 time
3200
1400

= 26.2 Times per Hour
= 2.29 Minutes

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Filters

The frequency of use directly affects how often the filters must be cleaned or serviced.
To maintain optimal operation, check the filters approximately every 40 hours of use in light or moderately dusty environments. In very dusty environments, check the filters every eight hours of use. Always wear a respirator when checking, changing, or servicing the filters.
Unplug air filter before performing all maintenance procedures. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury to you or others!
2. Lift the primary filter so it clears the retaining
rim (see Figure 13), remove it, and examine it. Place the filter in a trash bag and shake it gently to remove the bulk of the dust.
Primary
Filter
Secondary
Filter
Figure 13. Filters exposed for cleaning.
3. Remove the secondary filter, place it inside a
trash bag, and gently shake the dust from the inside of the filter.
Always wear a respirator and safety glasses when cleaning the filters. Sawdust may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.
To change and service the filters:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
DO NOT use compressed air to blow out the primary or secondary filters in the following steps. If you do, you will damage the filters and reduce filtering quality.
Optional: Wash the secondary filter with
water to remove the remaining dust, then let it dry completely.
4. Vacuum out the inside of the air filter hous­ing.
5. Re-install both filters.
Note: The filters can be cleaned several times
before replacement becomes necessary. To d e t er­mine whether the filters need to be replaced, hold them up to the sunlight and visually inspect them after cleaning. If you can see a lot of light through them, the filters do not need to be replaced. If you cannot see a lot of light through them after clean­ing, replace the filters.
