ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO FILTER

METAL DUST. Combining wood and metal dust can create an explosion or fire hazard. This unit is intended to filter non-explosive atmospheres only.

DO NOT USE THIS UNIT TO

DISSIPATE FUMES OR SMOKE. Explosions or fire can result. This dust collector is intended for use where only dry airborne dust is present. Its use should be limited to non-explosive, non-metallic atmospheres.

1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT UNTIL IT IS

COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED

ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. A unit incorrectly assembled can cause injury.

2.

OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR, IN-

STRUCTOR, OR ANOTHER QUALIFIED PERSON if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this unit. Knowledge is safety.

3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent electrical shock or electrocution.

4. DO NOT PULL THIS UNIT BY THE POWER CORD.

Do not allow the power cord to come in contact with sharp instruments or edges, hot surfaces, or oil or grease. Do not place any weight on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord can cause electrical shock or electrocution.

5.

SUPPORT THIS UNIT OR SECURELY CLAMP IT

TO THE WORK SURFACE WHEN IT IS USED IN

A PORTABLE APPLICATION to eliminate potential injury and/or damage from falling.

6.

ENSURE THAT THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST

AREAS ARE CLEAR PRIOR TO STARTING THE

UNIT. Clogged intakes or exhausts can cause an explosion and/or fire.

7. DO NOT USE THE DUST COLLECTOR to pick up flammable liquids such as gasoline. Do not use the dust collector near flammable or combustible liquids.

Explosion and/or fire can occur.

8.

KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS AWAY FROM

THE FAN. Avoid all exposure to rotating parts to prevent injury.

9.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT THE

DUST COLLECTION BAG IN PLACE AND

PROPERLY SECURED. Sawdust and other debris can provide the potential for fire and/or explosion and can also cause inhalation problems.

10. INSPECT THE DUST BAG FOR CUTS, RIPS, OR

TEARS. Replace damaged bags or vacuum hoses.

Sawdust and other debris can provide the potential for fire and/or explosion and can also cause inhalation problems.

11.

ALWAYS USE THE INTAKE CAPS TO COVER

UNUSED DUST PORTS. Debris can cause damage to the unit and injury.

12. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR REPLACE the dust collection bag(s) while the unit is connected to the power source. Exposed fan blades can cause severe injuries.

13. MAINTAIN THE UNIT IN TOP CONDITION.

Clogged filters can increase the potential for fire or explosion. Follow all instructions for changing and cleaning filters.

14. STORE THIS UNIT IN A LOCATION that eliminates the potential for damage to the power cord. A damaged power cord can cause shock or electrocution. Safely store power cord on the unit to eliminate tripping hazards.

15.

TURN THE UNIT “OFF” AND DISCONNECT THE

UNIT from the power source before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause serious injury.

16. TURN THE UNIT “OFF”, disconnect the unit from the power source, and clean the table/work area before leaving the area.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your machine is wired for 120V, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the

“OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipmentgrounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than

150 volts:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
