Safety Instructions For Power Tools

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. On machines with magnet-

ic 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. Read the manual accompanying the machine thoroughly.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther 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.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to machine operation are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.

22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

Additional Safety Instructions For The Dust

Collector

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. 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 and the possibility of a 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 PART(S) 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.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Operation

Circuit Load

Figure 1. NEMA 6-50, 220V plug and outlet.

The Model G9958 has a 4 H.P., 3450 R.P.M. motor which requires a 220V single-phase circuit. The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. The motor will draw about 32 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Model G9958 on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage.

When operating at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style L6-50 plug and outlet as shown in

Figure 1. We also recommend using wire capable

of handling a 50 amperage draw. Only a 35 amp circuit breaker is needed in the circuit though because the Model G9958 will only draw about 32 amps under load. It is always a good idea to match the amperage rating of the wiring to the plug and outlet, even if you will be using a lower amerage circuit breaker. This allows the future modification of the circuit up to the maximum amerage rating of the plug, outlet and wiring, by installing a matching amp rated circuit breaker. You may also “hard-wire” the machine directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect switch near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

If you are unsure about the correct installation or modification of electrical circuits, please consult the advice of a qualified electrician. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

-6- G9958 4 H.P. Dust Collector

We do not recommend the use of extension cords with 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or

better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for

the extension cord when using either 110V or 220V. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.

Grounding Extension Cords

In the event of an electrical short, grounding provides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be

grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.
