Additional Safety for Air Filters
INTENDED USE. This air filter is designed
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.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust exposure may cause
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.
LEAD PAINT DUST AND ASBESTOS FIBERS. DO
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.
SAFETY
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.
