This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.
Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation, electrocution, or death.
The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre­hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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 ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip­ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can
be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an electrician or qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect
machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This eliminates the risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

COLLECTION SYSTEM
System Setup
The Model W1823 is designed to collect dust from one large machine or two small machines at a time. This can be accomplished by either connecting it to one machine at a time or by connecting it to multiple machines and using blast gates to isolate different dust lines. This machine also works quite well as a point-of-use dust collector.
Tips for Optimum Performance
Keep ducts between the dust collector and machines
as short as possible.
Note that flex hose reduces CFM more than smooth­walled duct.
Model W1823 (Mfd. Since 03/16)
Keep ducting directional changes to a minimum. The more curved fittings you use, the more resistance to flow, resulting in loss of suction.
Gradual directional changes are more efficient than sudden directional changes (i.e. use 45° elbows in place of 90° elbows whenever possible).
Use smooth-walled duct whenever possible.
The simpler the system, the more efficient and less
costly it will be.
OPERATIONS
If the dust collector is attached to a 2" or 2 collection port, open another blast gate to increase the amount of CFM or airflow to maintain proper cyclonic action and dust separation.

Duct Material
You have many choices regarding main line and branch line duct material. For best results, use metal duct for the main line and branch lines, then use a short length of flexible hose to connect each machine to the branch lines.
Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops. However, be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without being grounded against static electrical charge build-up. This topic will be discussed later in the manual.
Metal Duct
The advantage of metal duct (Figure 26) is its conductivity, and it does not contribute to static electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are still produced when dust particles strike other dust particles as they move through the duct. Since metal duct is a conductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate any static electrical charges.
There are quite a number of options when it comes to metal duct, but metal duct that is specially manufactured for dust collection is the best choice. When selecting your metal duct, choose high quality metal duct with smooth welded internal seams that will minimize airflow resistance. This type of duct usually connects to other ducts or elbows with a simple, self-sealing clamp, is very quick and easy to assemble, and can be dismantled and re-installed with no problems. This is especially important if you ever need to change things around in your shop or add more tools.
Avoid inferior metal duct that requires you to cut it to length and snap it together. This type of duct is time consuming to install because it requires you to seal all the seams with silicone and screw the components on the ends with sheet metal screws. Another disadvantage is the rough internal seams and crimped ends that unavoidably increase static pressure.

components.

Flexible Duct
Flexible hose is generally used for short runs, small shops and at rigid duct-to-tool connections. There are many different types of flex hose on the market today. These are manufactured from materials such as polyethylene, PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber and even metal, including steel and aluminum.
The superior choice here is metal flex hose that is designed to be flexible, yet be as smooth as possible to reduce static pressure loss.
There are also many kinds of pure plastic flexible hose, such as non-perforated drainage type hose and dryer vent hose. Drainage type hose, while being economical, does not quite have the flexibility required for dust collection. The inside of the duct is also deeply corrugated and can increase the static pressure loss by as much as 50% over smooth wall duct. Dryer vent hose, while being completely flexible, is non-resistant to abrasion and has a tendency to collapse in a negative pressure system. We DO NOT recommend using dryer drainage-type vent hose in your dust collection system.
Model W1823 (Mfd. Since 03/16)
Figure 27. Example of flexible metal duct.
If using flex-hose, you should choose one of the many types that are designed specifically for the movement of solid particles, i.e. dust, grains and plastics. However, the cost of specifically designed flexible duct can vary greatly. For example, polyethylene hose is well suited for the removal of particulate matter, especially sawdust, since it is durable and completely flexible. Also, it is very economical and available in a wide variety of diameters
OPERATIONS
and lengths for most applications.
Plastic Duct
The popularity of plastic duct (Figure 28) is due to the fact that it is an economical and readily available product. It is also simple to assemble and easily sealed against air loss. The primary disadvantage of plastic duct for dust collection is the inherent danger of static electrical build­up.

System Grounding
Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inexpensive, easily assembled and air tight, it is a very popular material for conveying dust from woodworking machines to the dust collector. We recommend using flexible hose (flex-hose) to connect the woodworking machine to the dust collector. However, plastic flex-hose and plastic duct are an insulator, and dust particles moving against the walls of the plastic duct create a static electrical build up. This charge will build until it discharges to a ground. If a grounding medium is not available to prevent static electrical build up, the electrical charge will arc to the nearest grounded source. This electrical discharge may cause an explosion and subsequent fire inside the system.
To protect against static electrical build up inside a non­conducting duct, a bare copper wire should be placed inside the duct along its length and grounded to the dust collector. You must also confirm that the dust collector is continuously grounded through the electrical circuit to the electric service panel.
Always guard against static electrical build up by grounding all dust collection lines.
If you connect the dust collector to more than one machine by way of a non-conducting branching duct system and blast gates, the system must still be grounded as mentioned above. We recommend inserting a continuous bare copper ground wire (Figure 29) inside the entire duct system and attaching the wire to each grounded woodworking machine and dust collector.
Be sure that you extend the bare copper wire down all branches of the system. Do not forget to connect the wires to each other with wire nuts when two branches meet at a “Y” or “T” connection.
Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If using plastic blast gates to direct air flow, the grounding wire must be jumped (Figure 30) around the blast gate without interruption to the grounding system.
We also recommend wrapping the outside of all plastic ducts with bare copper wire to ground the outside of the system against static electrical build up. Wire connections at Y's and T's should be made with wire nuts.
Attach the bare ground wire to each stationary woodworking machine and attach the dust collector frame with a ground screw, as shown in Figure 29. Ensure that each machine is continuously grounded to the grounding terminal in your electric service panel.

OPERATIONS
General Operation
The Model W1823 is designed to be a point-of-source dust collector system, and is capable of collecting dust from one large machine or two small machines at a time.
This cyclone dust collector creates a vortex from incoming air that extracts most dust particles and drops them into the steel collection drum below, while the remaining fine dust (see Figure 31) travels past the impeller and into the canister filter. The filter is made of spun-bond polyester, which catches 99.9% of particles from 0.2 to 2 microns in size, and is pleated to provide maximum surface area for efficient airf low.
The canister filter is equipped with a cleaning mechanism inside that loosens built-up dust so it falls into the bag below, which improves airflow for a well-used filter.

If the motor gets too hot, the thermal overload on the motor will trip, shutting the dust collector down.
If the machine overload trips during operation, do these steps:
1. Verify that cooling around the motor is not
obstructed and improve ventilation if restricted.
2. Let the motor and electrical circuit cool for 30 minutes.
3. Press the motor reset button (see Figure 34), then press the ON button on the remote control (see

MAINTENANCE
General
No maintenance such as bearing lubrication is required on this machine. But it is important to empty the drum and clean the filter during use. To catch any potential problems, make it a habit to inspect your machine before and after you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:
Check loose mounting bolts and ducting.
Check worn or damaged wires.
Check system for leaks.
Check for tears in the filter or bags.
Look for any other unsafe condition.
Emptying Drum
Empty the collection drum when it is approximately 3/4 full as seen through the viewing window. If the drum is overfilled, dust will be sucked into the inlet cylinder and pass through to the filter. Sawdust and wood chips collected from different machines will require you to adjust the frequency of inspections.
To empty the sawdust from the drum, use the clamping lever (see Figure 35) on the drum lid to lift the lid and roll the drum out for emptying.
To empty the canister bag, use the canister quick release clamp to remove and dump the bag. The bags may be reused several times. We do not recommend using plain garbage bags as the wall thickness is insufficient to prevent blow-out.
MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Normal Filter Cleaning
Your cyclone dust collector has a set of paddles inside the filter for cleaning. This paddle system is controlled by the filter cleaning handle (see Figure 35). To clean the filter, simply rotate the handle left and right, so the paddles ripple against the internal filter pleats and knock off the caked-on dust. The dust will then fall into the collection bag below. During heavy sanding operations, the canister may have to be cleaned this way several times during the day. Periodically inspect the bag, the quick release clamp, and the canister filter for evidence of any leakage or tears. If damage is found, immediately replace as required. Refer to SERVICE for major filter cleaning.

Major Filter Cleaning
NOTICE
Using compressed air for cleaning or drying can tear the filter element. Using soapy water or solvents can also leave residue behind that attracts and bonds dust particles to the filter, resulting in a permanently clogged filter. ONLY use the cleaning handle, a soft brush, or plain water to clean the inside of the can­ister filter.

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all service proce­dures! If this warning is ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.
Filter
Cleaning
Handle
Use the filter cleaning handle for an initial filter cleaning. Next put on safety goggles and a respirator, and remove and empty the canister dust collection bag. To reach deep in the pleat-valleys, you can use a straw brush or stiff paint brush.
For extremely dirty filters, the filter can be carefully rinsed out with warm water and allowed to air dry. However, never leave the filter in the sun to dry or it could shrink and distort. Washing the filter when the ambient temperature is below 65 degrees or placing the wet filter in a closed environment without ventilation to dry can cause mold to grow between the filter pleats. If possible, use a fan to assist in the drying process, and never use compressed air to clean or blow-dry the filter.

The Model W1823 can be converted for 240V. This conversion requires re-wiring the motor, installing a 240V plug, a 240V magnetic switch box assembly, and reprogramming the remote control receiver. Only a
qualified electrician or service personnel should perform this procedure!
To convert the Model W1823 to 240V, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the 120V plug from the power cord,
then install a NEMA 6-15 plug, according to the instructions included with the plug. If no instructions were included, use the wiring diagram on Page 31.
3. Open the motor junction box, then remove the wire nuts indicated in Figure 39.

Figure 41. Magnetic switch box.
6. Locate the incoming power and outgoing motor cords
(shown in Figure 42) inside the magnetic switch box. Carefully note the destination of all of the wires associated with these two cords, and record their position so that you can return them to the corre­sponding positions in the 240V magnetic switch box assembly later.
7. Loosen all of the terminal screws that have wires
from the power cord or motor cord attached, then remove the wires.
8. Remove the entire 120V magnetic switch box assem-
bly from the dust collector frame.
9. Install the 240V magnetic switch box assembly
(purchased separately) in place of the 120V switch removed in Step 8, then re-install power and motor wires on the 240V switch box assembly in the same positions that they were in on the 120V switch. Tighten all terminals.
10. At this point, the new remote control receiver inside
your new magnetic switch must be reprogrammed so it can communicate with your old hand-held control. To do this, complete the Remote Control Reprogramming procedure on Page 29.
