Introduction
The Model D3346 Remote Dust Collector Switch (Figure
1) allows the operator to turn the dust collector ON/OFF
from a distance of up to 75 feet. Read and understand
this entire document before installation to make sure the
Model D3346 fits the intended application.
Only connect the Model D3346 to a 220V circuit with
a NEMA 6-20 receptacle. DO NOT connect a dust collector with a motor greater than 3 HP. Failure to follow these warnings will void the warranty and could
cause damage to the remote switch and the dust
coll e cto r.
NOTICE
This switch is designed to be used only on dust
collectors with standard ON/OFF toggle switches.
Due to the nature of magnetic switches, the Model
D3346 WILL NOT function properly on a machine
with this type of switch. If you are uncertain about
the type of switch on your dust collector, contact
the manufacturer for more information. Do not
attempt to bypass the dust collector switch with
this unit

DO NOT modify the provided plug or
use an adapter if the plug will not fit
your receptacle. This is an indication
that your power supply circuit does
NOT meet the requirements for the
machine; have an electrician install
the correct power supply circuit. If
the machine must be reconnected for
use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be
made by a qualified electrician or
service personnel; after reconnection,
the machine must comply with all local
codes and ordinances.

Installation
1. Identify a mounting location for the receiver unit
that allows the power cord to reach an appropriate
outlet and the dust collector power to be plugged
into the receiver outlet.
Note: You may choose to attach the receiver unit
directly to your dust collector. If so, mount it to a
portion of the frame that will not compromise the
function or strength of the dust collector.
2. Attach the mounting bracket in the chosen location
using the included screws, as shown in Figure 3. If
you are mounting the bracket to the dust collector
frame, you may have to use alternative mounting
hardware.
3. Hook the receiver unit onto the mounting bracket.

4. Plug the receiver power cord into a 6-20 receptacle,
then plug the dust collector cord into the receiver
unit.
Only connect the Model D3346 to a 220V circuit with
a NEMA 6-20 receptacle. DO NOT connect a dust collector with a motor larger than 3 HP. Failure to follow
these warnings will void the warranty and could cause
damage to the remote switch and the dust collector.
5. If the batteries are not installed in the remote
control transmitters, install them as described on
