SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

SAFETY

NOTICE

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

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. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-

glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause

permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip
footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work
area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

-6-

W1816 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 10/09)

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all moving parts to come to
a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.

11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.

13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-

heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords
for 220V machinery.

14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is
in OFF position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting

wrenches before turning machinery ON.

SAFETY

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured

workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-

tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.

25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and

animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you
will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety for Dust Collectors

READ and understand this
entire manual before using
this machine. Serious per-

SAFETY

1. IMPELLER/INLET SAFETY: Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation

for any reason. The power suction of the rotating impeller could cause accidental contact,
resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the machine.

2. MACHINE USE: The machine is intended to only collect wood dust and chips. Do not use the dust

collector as a vacuum or with machines producing dust/chips from metal, asbestos products, lead
paint, silica, or any products that are not natural wood or man-made products manufactured from
wood fiber, such as plywood or particle boards.

3. WEAR RESPIRATOR: This machine may blow fine dust particles into the air during operation

causing a hazard to the lungs. Always wear an ANSI approved respirator during dust collector
operation and for a short time after as the dust settles.

sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under­stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!

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.

4. SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES & IGNITION SOURCES: Do not operate the dust collector in areas

where dust explosion risks are high, such as near pilot lights or open flames.

5. ALLERGIC REACTION: Be aware that certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and

animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. To avoid an allergic reaction, make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed to.

6. AVOIDING FIRES: Do not allow metal particles to strike the impeller! This may produce a spark,

which can smolder in the wood dust for a long time before the fire or flame is detected. If you
accidentally collect metal during operation, immediately turn the dust collector OFF, disconnect it
from power, and wait for the impeller to stop. Then, remove the collection bags and empty them
into an approved air-tight metal container. Prevent any chance of accidental collection of metal
again before resuming operations.

7. EMPTYING DUST: When emptying dust from the collection bags, wear an ANSI approved respirator

and safety glasses to avoid lung or eye hazards caused by fine dust. Empty the dust away from
ignition sources and into an approved container, then dispose of it properly.

8. SAFE MAINTENANCE & SERVICE: Disconnect the dust collector from power and allow the impeller

to come to a complete stop on its own before performing maintenance, service, adjustments, or
emptying collection bags.

Machine Placement

• Floor Load: This machine distributes a

heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.

• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough

to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.

• Electrical: Electrical circuits must be

dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.

SETUP

USE helpers or power lift­ing equipment to lift this
dust collector. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.

Mounting to Shop

Floor

Although not required, we recommend
that you mount your new machine to the
floor. Because this is an optional step and
floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included.

We also recommend that you use a
precision level to level your dust collector
for smooth operation of the motor and
imp el l er.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Anchor studs and lag screws and anchors
(Figure 6) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options
and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific
application.

MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to children by closing and
locking all entrances when
you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your
shop when assembling,
adjusting or operating
equipment.

Lag Screw and Anchor

Figure 6. Typical fasteners for mounting to

concrete floors.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more
permanent alternatives to lag shield
anchors; however, they will stick out of
the floor, which may cause a tripping
hazard later if you decide to move
your machine.

Assembly

NOTICE

Using air tools to tighten the fasteners in the
assembly of your dust collector may crack or chip the
paint because of their high torque. We recommend
that you use hand tools or an electric tool with a low
clutch setting.

The safest and most efficient method of assembling your
dust collector is to turn the blower housing assembly
upside down and attach the parts upward, as instructed
in the following steps.

Tools & Items Needed Qty

Wrench 8mm .....................................................1

Wrench 12mm ...................................................2
