SaVE tHESE inStructiOnS
this appliance must be grounded. if it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. this appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. the plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
SEtup
Grounding instructions
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in 125 Vac 3-prong plug and Outlet.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
OpEratiOn
improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance –
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn:
Make sure that the trigger is in the off-position and unplug the tool from its
electrical outlet before performing any procedure in this section.
Workpiece and Work area Set up
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
SEtup
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
Vacuum Operation
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn:
turn the Switch off and unplug the power cord from its electrical outlet before removing the power Head.
1. If constructing a new system, connect 4″ vent pipe
(not included) to the 4″ inlet side of the collector.
2. Determine the size of the dust ports on your
tools and run vacuum hoses from each
tool to an appropriate sized adapter, and
into the 4″ vent pipe (none included).
4. Make sure that the Switch is in its off position.
Plug the Power Cord into the power outlet.

Do not use.
3. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized
Item 61790
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table A shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
5. Turn the switch on to operate the Dust Collector.
6. Make sure the Collection Bag (37)
is on tight and not leaking.
7. During operation, periodically check how full
the Collection Bag is. Do not let it fill more
than 3/4 full. A completely full bag puts a
lot of stress on the bag and the clamp.
8. To change Collection Bag, wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles, and a dust mask. Turn Dust
Collector off, remove the Filter Clamp (31), and
empty the bag. Reinstall the bag and clamp.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the appliance and
unplug it after use.
Empty and clean Bags, clean Filter
(see cleaning Filter on page 8),
then store the appliance indoors
out of children’s reach.
For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
