WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con tains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well venti lated area, and work with approved safety equip ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

SAFETY

NOTICE

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.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. Thoroughly read the Instruction Manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,

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

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

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 accom modating 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 switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.

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

9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors must 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.

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 use one, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. 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.

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 or open flames creates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explo sion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those mentioned above.

SAFETY

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our technical support 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.

Additional Safety Instructions for Dust Collectors

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and

SAFETY

1. WOOD DUST ONLY. Never use your dust collector for anything except wood dust. Materials such as

liquids, metal shavings, metal dust, screws, glass, plastic, or rocks can cause sparks when coming into contact with any part of the collection system. Sparks combined with sawdust and the breeze from the impeller can ignite easily.

2. UNPLUG BEFORE SERVICING. Always turn off and unplug the dust collector, and allow the impeller

to come to a complete stop before emptying the dust bags, moving the dust collector, or removing ducting.

3. WORKING NEAR INLET. Never place your hands near the inlet opening while the machine is running

or connected to power.

operational information is not understood and fol lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

DO NOT remove inlet grating. If large debris should come into contact with the impeller, seri ous injury may occur.

4. RESPIRATOR REQUIRED DURING OPERATION. Always wear an approved respirator during dust col-

lector use, the bag filter is not a safe substitute for a respirato

5. RESPIRATOR REQUIRED WHEN REMOVING BAGS

glasses when removing, emptying or replacing collection bags. Secure the bags tightly to the dust collector to avoid the bags from blowing off.

6. UNATTENDED DUST COLLECTOR. Never leave the dust collector running while unattended.

7. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our technical support or ask a qualified expert for solutions.

8. GROUNDING PLASTIC DUST HOSES AGAINST STATIC ELECTRICITY. Plastic dust hoses create static

electricity during operation. The longer the hose, the stronger the potential buildup of a charge. Running bare 12 ga. copper wire along all plastic hoses, fittings, and blast gates and connecting the wire to the metal frame of machines will help reduce the occurrence of static build up and discharge.
