off the dust collector, disconnect it from power,
and wait for the impeller to stop–then empty the
collection container into an approved airtight
metal container.
OPERATING LOCATION
To reduce respiratory exposure to fine dust,
locate permanently installed dust collectors away
from the working area, or in another room that is
equipped with a smoke detector. Do not operate
the dust collector in rainy or wet locations.
Exposure to water may create a shock hazard or
decrease the life of the machine.
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.
REGULAR CLEANING
Regularly check/empty the collection bags or
drum 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 panels, or other heat
sources will increase the risk of fire.
!
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.
DUST COLLECTOR SAFETY
EMPTYING DUST
When emptying dust from the collection container,
wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust
away from ignition sources and into an approved
container.
DISCONNECT POWER
SUPPLY
Turn the switch off, disconnect the dust collector
from the power supply, and allow the impeller
to come to a complete stop before leaving
the machine unattended or doing any service,
cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.
SUSPENDED DUST
PARTICLES AND IGNITION
SOURCES
Do not operate the dust collector in areas where
explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk include,
but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights, open
flames, or other ignition sources.
FIRE SUPPRESSION
Only operate the dust collector in locations that
contain a fire suppression system or have a fire
extinguisher nearby.
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.
AVOIDING SPARKS
Do not allow steel or rocks to strike the impeller–
this may produce sparks. Sparks can smolder in
wood dust for a long time before a fire is detected.
If you accidentally cut into wood containing tramp
metal (nails, staples, spikes, etc.), immediately turn
