from the power supply, and allow the
impeller to completely stop before
leaving the machine unattended or doing
any service, cleaning, maintenance, or
adjustments.
DO NOT place your hair,
loose clothing, hands, or tools near the open
inlet during operation for any reason. Only
operate machine with ducting attached to
inlet. The powerful suction could easily
cause accidental contact with the impeller,
which will cause serious personal injury or
damage to the machine. Always keep small
animals and children away from open dustcollection inlets.
Turn the
the collection container, wear a respirator
and safety glasses. Empty dust away from
ignition sources and into an approved
container.
FIRE SUPPRESSION. Only operate the dust
collector in locations that contain a
fire suppression system or have a fire
extinguisher nearby.
SUSPENDED PARTICULATE & IGNITION SOURCES.
DO NOT operate the dust collector 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.
AVOIDING SPARKS. DO NOT allow steel or rocks
to strike the impeller—this may produce
sparks. Sparks can smolder in wood dust
for a long time before a fire is detected. If
you accidentally cut into wood containing
tramp metal (nails, staples, spikes, etc.),
immediately turn OFF the dust collector,
disconnect it from power, and wait for the
impeller to stop—then empty the collection
container into an approved airtight metal
container.
STATIC ELECTRICITY. High amounts of static
electricity are generated when plastic
ducting is used for dust-collection lines.
Although rare, sparks caused by static
electricity can cause explosions or fire. To
DUST—WEAR RESPIRATOR. Fine
dust that is too small to be caught in the
filter will be blown into the ambient air
during operation. Always wear a NIOSHapproved respirator during operation and
for a short time after to reduce your risk of

Dust Collection System
Material Selection
You have many choices regarding dust collection ducting,
but flexible hose is the most common for this size of
machine. 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.
Flexible rubber hose, polyethylene, plastic flex-hose and
other flexible ribbed hose is generally used for short
runs. These are manufactured from materials such as
polyethylene, PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber and even
metal, including steel and aluminum.
If using flex-hose, you should choose one of the many
types that are designed specifically for the movement of
solid particles, such as wood dust.
Duct Grounding
Plastic flex-hose is an insulator, and dust particles moving against the walls of the hose creates a static electrical buildup. 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 buildup inside a nonconducting duct, a bare copper wire should be placed
inside the duct along its length and grounded to the dust
collector. ALWAYS confirm the dust collector is continuously grounded through the electrical circuit to the electric service panel.
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 (see Figure 12) 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 buildup. Wire connections
at Y’s and T’s should be made with wire nuts.
Plastic duct generates
static electrical buildup
that can cause fire or
shock. Properly ground
it to reduce this risk.

Dust Collection
Since each machine produces a different amount
of sawdust, the requirements for the minimum
amount of CFM to move that sawdust is unique
to the machine (for example, a planer produces
more sawdust than a table saw). Knowing this
required CFM is important to gauging which size
of duct to use.
Based on the dust port size of the machine to
be connected to the dust collector, Figure 14
will give you a close estimation of the CFM that
is reduced because of dust port size. A machine
that generates large wood chips should be
placed as close to the dust collector as possible.

OPERATIONS
General
Operating your Model W1844 is simple and straightforward. Position the machine near the dust collector where
it will not interfere with the workpiece being processed,
connect the duct, connect the ducting ground, and you
are ready to begin.
Keep in mind that the dust collector is intended for
single machine use and is not designed to draw dust
through long ducting runs and multiple ports simultaneously. We do not recommend using ducting longer than 10
feet. Otherwise, dust-collection efficiency will be greatly
reduced.
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the
following:

MAINTENANCE
General
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this
maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Full collection bag.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Model W1844 (For Machines Mfd. Since 5/17)
Always empty the collection bags on a regular basis.
Emptying the collection bags allows the machine to
operate at a much higher level of efficiency. To limit your
exposure to dust particles, we recommend that you tie
off the bag and dispose of it.
Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust mask
and safety glasses when emptying or disposing of the
collection bags. Small dust particles can escape the bags
during emptying, causing them to become airborne and
easily inhaled. This microscopic airborne dust is extremely
unhealthy to breathe and can cause serious health
problems.
While this dust collector excels at collecting the majority
of wood dust produced by your machines, it is not
an air filter; therefore, we strongly recommend the
supplemental aid of a shop air filter such as the Shop Fox
W1830. Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust
particles that dust collector bags cannot trap.
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance
procedures! If this warning is ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
To reduce the risk of eye injury and
long-term respiratory damage, always
wear safety glasses and a respirator
while operating this machine.
Cleaning & Protecting
MAINTENANCE
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be
replaced. Do not lubricate them.

Cleaning Canister Filter
Always empty the collection bag on a regular basis.
Emptying the collection bag allows the machine to
operate at a much higher level of efficiency. Always wear
the appropriate respirator or dust mask and safety glasses
when emptying the collection bag. Small dust particles
can escape the bag during emptying, causing them to
become airborne and easily inhaled. This microscopic
airborne dust is unsafe to breathe and can cause serious
health problems.
To clean the canister filter on the Model W1844, move the
canister cleaning handle back and forth to free trapped
dust particles from the filter pleats (see Figure 17). The
particles will fall into the collection bag.
NOTICE
The use of compressed air or liquids to clean the
canister filter will damage the filtration pleats of the
filter. Use ONLY the cleaning handle or, if necessary,
a soft brush to clean the inside of the canister filter.
Figure 17. Canister cleaning handle
directions.
Replacing Bags
To replace collection bag:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Put on safety glasses and respirator.
3. Release belt clamp securing collection bag, then
remove bag from collector.
4. Securely close top of bag and safely dispose of it
according to local and federal standards.
5. Install new collection bag, and secure with belt
clamp.

charge for up to 10 minutes after being
disconnected from the power source.
To reduce the risk of being shocked,
wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
