SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

SAFETY

1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,

2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions

limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future reference.

3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three-hole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.

4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments. Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.

6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.

7. Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to

machine.

8. Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.

9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.

10. Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

11. Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

-4-

12. DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair

away from moving parts.

15. Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16. Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. Use length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

SAFETY

18.DO NOT leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the

area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames creates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those mentioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

22. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.

Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris that can cause eye injury. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Additional Safety for Air Filters

INTENDED USE. This air filter is designed

SAFETY

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust exposure may cause

LEAD PAINT DUST AND ASBESTOS FIBERS. DO

to capture dust from ambient air in a woodworking shop for a short time after cutting or sanding operations. DO NOT use this air filter to collect particles of silica, metal, lead paint, asbestos, or hazardous bacterium. DO NOT allow this filter to collect liquids, combustible fumes, burning or smoking material, or toxic fumes.

cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of the dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

NOT try to collect lead paint or asbestos fibers with this machine. Due to the high hazard to human health, these materials must be collected with special equipment.

DISCONNECTING POWER SUPPLY. Turn the

switch OFF, disconnect the air filter from the power supply, and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before leaving the machine unattended or doing any service, cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

REGULAR CLEANING. For best performance,

regularly check/clean the filters to avoid the buildup of fine dust. Make sure to regularly clean the surrounding area where the machine is operated—excessive dust buildup on overhead lights, heaters, electrical panels, or other heat sources will increase the risk of fire.

SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNITION

SOURCES. DO NOT operate the air filter in

areas where explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights, open flames, or other ignition sources.

DUST ALLERGIES. Dust from certain woods

may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to in case there is a possibility of an allergic reaction.

WEAR RESPIRATOR. Fine dust that is too small

to be caught in the filter will be blown into the ambient air during operation. Wearing a NIOSH approved respirator during this time will reduce your risk of permanent respiratory damage.

EMPTYING DUST. When removing dust from the

filters, turn OFF the switch, disconnect power, and wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust away from ignition sources and into an approved container.

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

FIRE SUPPRESSION. Only operate the air filter

in locations that contain a fire suppression system or have a fire extinguisher nearby.

IMPELLER HAZARDS. DO NOT place your hands

or tools inside the air filter housing during operation for any reason. The powerful suction could easily cause accidental contact with the impeller which could cause serious personal injury or damage to the machine.

OPERATING LOCATION. DO NOT operate the air

filter in rainy or wet locations—exposure to water may create a shock hazard or decrease the life of the machine.
