3.2 Specific Safety Instructions for Dust Processor
1. CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
Once you are ready to commence work, remove any tools, objects or items that could
inadvertently get ‘sucked up’ by the machine and place safely out of the way.
2. INTENDED USE
Don't use this machine as a vacuum cleaner, avoid stones, nails, etc., as it may produce a spark
and cause fire or explosion.
3. FIRE SUPPERSSION
Only operate the dust collector in locations that contain a fire suppression system or have a fire
extinguisher nearby.
4. REGULAR CLEANING
Regular check/empty the collection bags to avoid the buildup of fine dust that can increase the
risk of fire. Make sure to regularly clean the surrounding area where the machine is operated
--excessive dust buildup on overhead lights, heaters, electrical panes, or other heat sources will
increase the risk of fire.
5. STATIC ELECTRICITY
Plastic dust lines generate high amounts of static electricity as dust chips pass through them.
Although rare, sparks caused by static electricity can cause explosions or fire. To reduce this risk,
make sure all dust lines are thoroughly grounded by using a grounding wire.
6. HAZARDOUS DUST
Dust created while using machinery 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.
7. 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 there is a possibility of an allergic
reaction.
8. IMPELLER HAZARDS
Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation for any reason. The
powerful suction could easily cause accidental contact with the impeller which will cause serious
personal injury or damage to the machine. Always keep small animals and children away from
open dust collection inlets.
