Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position. DO NOT leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT

INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE

PARTICLES , including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL.

Serious injury could result if the tool tips over, or you accidentally contact the tool.

18. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.

19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.

26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD

CONDITION.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. The table on the following page shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS

A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE

RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.

20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive accessories when worn.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY EXTENSION CORDS

THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED

WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD

WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. For best power and safety, plug the machine directly into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet that is within the supplied cord length of the machine.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not included). The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

If an extension cord needs to be used, it should only be for a limited operation of the machine. The extension cord should be as short as possible in length, and have a minimum gauge size of 14AWG.

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation

(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by

Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded when installing or replacing a plug.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS

THE PROPER TYPE OF A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG

THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE’S 3-PRONG PLUG AND

ALSO THE 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE

TOOL’S PLUG. *

REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD

IMMEDIATELY.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A. It shows a

3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as shown in

FIGURE B can be used to temporarily

FIG. A connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded

receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.

THIS ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN

CANADA.

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with your power tool.

* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords

to be certified SJT type or better.

** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

CAUTION: Make sure the dust collector is unplugged before cleaning or servicing.

Always wear a dust mask or respirator while emptying the collector bags or cleaning the dust collector. Please refer to the California Proposition 65 warning on page 6 of this manual regarding hazards from exposure to wood dust. For more detailed information visit www.rikontools.com or www.oehha.ca.gov.

GROUNDING THE DUCT WORK

NOTE: For permanent dust collector set-ups, the following instructions are recommended. For the occasional use of the 60-105 Portable Dust Collector, care must none-the-less be taken to keep the hose and bag clean.

Dust particles moving through flexible or rigid plastic duct work can cause static electricity build-up. The duct work must be properly grounded to ensure that static discharge does not ignite fine dust particles causing an explosion or fire.

To properly ground plastic duct work, simply run a small gauge bare copper wire through the ducting and have it emerge from the hose at the dust collector and at each dust producing machine. The bare copper wire should be bonded to the metal shell of each machine by means of a metal screw. The screw must be threaded into the metal shell to ensure a good connection.

The grounding of metal duct work is similar, the only difference is that there is no need to run the bare copper wire inside the ducting. It can be wrapped along the out side of the ducting and should be bonded to each machine as described above.

MAINTENANCE

Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor. Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance.

1. Before each use:

- Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.

- Check for any loose screws or hardware.

- Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could hamper the safe operation of the machines being used.

2. To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly clean all parts of your machines using a soft cloth, brush or compressed air. A general cleaning should be done after every use to avoid future problems and ensure the machines are in ready condition for the next time that they are used.

WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.

3. Check the duct work and hoses to make sure that there are no loose connections. Making sure that they are in proper operating condition will ensure that the dust collection will be the best possible.

4. Clean the upper filtering bag, or canister, on a regular basis to prevent the build-up of dust for better dust collection and air filtration. Check for abrasion, tears or damage.

WARNING: Always wear a dust mask or respirator while emptying the collector bags or cleaning the dust collector.

Please refer to the California Proposition 65 warning on page 6 of this manual regarding hazards from exposure to wood dust.
