3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This dust collector is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a dust collector, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this dust collector for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier

(Manufacturing) Inc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this dust collector. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

7. Before operating this dust collector, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

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

• Lead from lead based paint.

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

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.

16. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.

CK1 and DC-1200VX-CK3

Never perform maintenance on this machine before turning switch off and removing plug from power source. Failure to

comply may cause serious injury!

Clean both the filter and collector bags frequently to keep the collector's performance at its optimum.

To clean the filter, turn the handle a couple of rotations so the dust falls into the collector bag.

Removing the Collector Bag –

DC-1200VX-CK1 and DC-1200VX-CK3

Wearing a particle mask or respirator for protection against fine dust particles during cleaning is highly recommended.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source outlet.

2. Remove the collector bag by pushing the ring of the collector bag upwards at an angle and pulling the bag and snap ring out.

3. Empty the contents into an appropriate container.

To replace the collector bag, refer to the Collector

Bag section on page 12.

Motor

Make frequent inspections of the motor fan and blow out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum any accumulation of foreign material in order to maintain normal motor ventilation.

Connecting the Dust Collector to a

Machine

Use the proper type hose to connect the dust collector to the machine being operated. Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose. Contact your nearest JET distributor for the full line of JET Dust

Collector Hoses and Accessories. Customize your installation and obtain maximum performance with

JET's dust hoods, hoses, clamps, fittings, and blast gates.

Grounding the Dust Collection System

The dust collection system includes the dust collector and the hose, or ductwork you use to connect the tools. The dust collector is grounded through the ground wire in the cord. The hose or ductwork you use to connect the tool to the dust collector must also be grounded.
