The Ray Foster Cyclone Dust Collector was engineered for optimum suction at a low
noise level, easy and economical filter changes, and minimal maintenance.
It is designed for various grinding tasks in the dental laboratory, and is intended to
be used in conjunction with bench lathes, high speed alloy grinders, micro motors,
hand pieces, and other grinding tools.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when
using your Cyclone Dust Collector, follow basic safety precautions including
the following:
Read this manual before using your dust collector.
Ground the dust collector. This unit is equipped with an approved three
conductor cord and plug. It must be plugged into a three hole grounded
receptacle.
Disconnect the power cord before servicing or cleaning unit.
Use with dry materials only. Do not use dust collector with any wet or moist
material, such as gypsum models that have not thoroughly dried. Moisture will
cause rapid wear of the motor, and the possibility of electrical short or electrical
shock.
Do not operate unit without primary and secondary filters in place.
Do not operate unit with a damaged or punctured filter bag.
Do not block the discharge vents. The dust collector discharges filtered air
through vents on the right side of the unit. Allow at least four inches of clearance
on this side for air discharge.
INSTALLATION
1. Choose a suitable location for the unit. It is compact and portable and fits easily
under a counter or bench. If you choose to place it inside a cabinet, be sure to
provide adequate ventilation for the exhaust. The unit discharges air out the right
side, DO NOT BLOCK this discharge in any way.
2. One 6 foot long by 2.5 inch diameter vacuum hose is supplied. Longer lengths
are available if required. Also available is a 1.5 inch diameter vacuum hose for
applications that require the smaller diameter hose. Insert one end of the hose
into the open port on top of the dust collector, and the other end connects to the
work station or dust collection devise.
3. Plug the unit into any standard GROUNDED electrical outlet. DO NOT
circumvent the electrical grounding by removing the third prong. The dust
collector is turned on (international symbol "I") and off (international symbol "O")
by a rocker switch located on the front panel. The unit can also be controlled by
an optional foot switch (P/N X131) or remote control box (P/N X145).

MAINTENANCE
1. Disposable Paper Filter Bag (item X150, pkg/10)
The primary filter is a disposable paper filter bag. The unit comes equipped with
one paper filter installed, and four (4) replacement filters. To install a new filter:
A. Unlatch and remove the lid of the dust collector.
B. Remove the old paper filter. The filter is held in place with an elastic band
sewn onto the top of the bag.
C. Insert the bottom of the new dust bag into the cloth bag, and expand the
elastic band around and over the top of the cloth bag. Loosely open the paper
bag to conform to the inside of the cloth bag.
D. Replace both filter bags into the filter compartment of the dust collector.
Replace and latch the lid.
IMPORTANT: The disposable bag should be changed when there is a
noticeable reduction in suction power. Never empty and reuse the paper bag.
2. Cloth Dust Bag (item X112).
The cloth dust bag is a semi-permanent filter, and requires removal and shaking
periodically to prevent its pores from becoming clogged resulting in reduced
suction.
CAUTION: Never operate the dust collector with any filter missing or damaged, as
this could cause rapid wear and damage to the motor.
3. Motor Brushes (Item X175 for Ametek Gen2000 motor, Set of 2).
The average life of the motor brushes is 500 hrs. The motor brushes are easily
replaceable and accessible by removing the bottom of the unit. It is not
necessary to remove the motor from the dust collector.
Changing the brushes is routine maintenance and can be accomplished by
following these steps:
A. Unplug the power cord from the dust collector, and remove the lid and
filters.

B. Turn the dust collector upside down or on its side and remove the bottom
plate. Double check to make sure that the unit is UNPLUGGED FROM
THE POWER SOURCE. The motor is now visible and easily accessible. It
is not necessary to remove the motor.
C. The black plastic fan cover must first be removed from the motor. It is
snapped onto the motor and secured at four points on the motor bracket.
The retention points are on each side of each brush. With your fingers
spread the plastic cover where the brass brush housing protrudes out from
the motor and lift the cover off.
D. The motor brush assemblies are now accessible. Loosen the two Phillips
head screws that secure each brush assembly approximately two to three
turns. It is not necessary to remove the screws. Lift the brush assemblies
slightly and pull them out. Insert the new brushes, making sure the tab on
the brass housing mates with the slot on the bracket. Tighten the four
Phillips head screws.
E. Snap on the plastic fan cover and replace the bottom plate.
4. Fuse (item X166) The fuse is located on the back panel in the connector that the
power cord is plugged into. The bottom part of this connector incorporates the
fuse block. To access the fuse disconnect the power cord and pull the “drawer”
(fuse block) straight out. You can use a small screwdriver or similar placed
behind the tab on the top-middle of the “drawer” to pull it out. The exposed fuse
in the back is the active fuse. The fuse in the square tunnel is a spare fuse.
Replacement fuses are available from Radio Shack. Their item number is
270-1068.
