Additional Safety for Air Filters

Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using this filter to capture hazardous dust without proper use of a respirator. Collecting flammable or combustible liquids, vapors, or explosive dusts can cause fire or explosions, resulting in smoke inhalation, serious burns, or death. An improperly secured air filter can fall, causing head injuries. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

LUNG PROTECTION. Fine dust that is too small to be caught in filter will be blown into ambient air during operation. Always wear a NIOSH- approved respirator during operation and for a short time after to reduce your risk of permanent respiratory damage.

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.

INTENDED USE. Using this filter regularly to collect prohibited materials can result in serious health problems. It is only designed to capture dust from ambient air in a woodworking shop for a short time after cutting or sanding operations.

DO NOT use to collect particles of silica, polyurethane, metal, lead paint, asbestos, or hazardous bacterium. DO NOT allow filter to collect explosive dusts, flammable, or combustible liquids or fumes, burning or smoking material, or toxic fumes. DO

NOT connect directly to air filtration system. Only operate with filters installed.

REGULAR CLEANING. To reduce risk of starting fire, regularly clean surrounding area where machine is operated. Excessive fine dust buildup on overhead lights, heaters, electrical panels, or other heat sources can increase risk of fire.

Regularly check/clean/change filters to avoid fine dust buildup.

EMPTYING DUST. To reduce exposure to wood dust when removing dust from filters, which may increase risk of allergic reactions or respiratory problems, always turn switch

To reduce fire and explosion risk, empty dust away from ignition sources and into an approved container.

OFF, disconnect power, and wear a respirator and safety glasses.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust exposure may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

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 of an allergic reaction.

POWER DISCONNECT. Turn switch OFF, disconnect air filter from power supply, and allow impeller to come to a complete stop before doing any cleaning, maintenance, or service.

SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNITION

SOURCES. To reduce risk of death or injury caused by explosions or fires, DO NOT operate filter in areas where these risks are high, including, but not limited to, spaces near pilot lights, open flames, or other ignition sources.

MOUNTING. To reduce risk of injuries due to filter falling, secure it to load-bearing joists or wall studs that can support its weight. Do not mount unit only to sheet rock, pressboard, paneling, or honeycomb ceiling panels with expansion-type fasteners, which can easily tear out.
