operation. Do not use this machine until proper training and knowledge has been obtained.

2. Do not leave Dust Collector when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.

3. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

4. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.

5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufac turer’s recommended attachments.

6. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If Dust Collector is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoor, or dropped i n water, return it to a service center.

7. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handl e, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run Dust Col lector over cord. K eep c ord away from heated surfaces.

8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cor d.

9. Do not handle plug or Dust Collector with wet hands.

10. Do not put any objec ts into the openi ngs. Do not use with any opening bloc k ed; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fi nger s, and all parts of body away from opening and moving parts.

12. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

13. Do not use without dust bag and/or fil ter bag in plac e.

14. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

15. Do not use to pick up flammable or c ombustible liquids such as gasoline or use i n ar eas where they
may be present.

16. Do not operate without hose connected to the i nlet port. Haz ar dous moving parts inside. Unplug
machine before removing hose.

17. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction ac tiviti es
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repr oduc tive harm. S ome
examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry pr oduc ts, and

• Arsenic and chromium from c hemically-treated lumber .

19. Your risk from those exposures vari es, depending on how often you do t his type of work. To
reduce your ex posure t o these chemicals: work in a well venti lated area, and work with appr oved
safety equi pment, such as those dust masks that are specificall y desi gned to fi lter out microscopic
particles

20. Do not operate tool while under the infl uenc e of drugs, alc ohol or any medication.

21. Make sure the extension cord is in good c ondition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the cur r ent your product will draw. An undersize cord will cause a drop
in the line v oltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere r ating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller gauge number, the heavier t he c or d.

22. Do not use dust collec tor for anything exc ept wood dust. Materials such as liquids, m etal shav ings,
metal dust, screws, glass, plastic or r oc k c an c ause sparks and/or damage when coming into

23. Ground your dust collector along all plastic components. The connection of bare 12 gauge c opper

static build up and discharge.

Grounding Instructions

Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfu nction or breakdow n, grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric curren t to reduce the risk of elect ric shock. This to ol is equipped w ith an elect ric cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with al l local codes

and ordinances.

Do not modi fy the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a quali fied
electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding c onduc tor can result in a risk of electri c shock. The
conductor, with insulati on havi ng an outer surface t hat is green with or without yellow stri pes, is the
equipment -grounding conductor . If r epair or replac ement of the electric cord or pl ug is necessary, do not
connect the equi pment-grounding conductor to a live term inal.

Check with a qualifi ed electri c ian or serv ice personnel if the groundi ng instructi ons are not c ompletely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool i s properly grounded. Use only three wire ext ensi on
cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacl es that accept the t ool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your dust c ollector is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This dust coll ec tor,
when wired for 115 volts, is intended f or use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that look s the one
illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure B, may
be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a pr oper ly grounded outl et
is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a pr oper ly grounded outl et can be
installed by a qualified el ec trician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter , must be connect ed to a permanent gr ound such as a
properly grounded outlet box , as shown in Figure B.
