Vacuum (Dust collector) Operation
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn:
turn the Switch off and unplug the power cord from its electrical outlet before removing the power Head.
Do not tamper with or remove the grounding pole on the plug. you must use
this unit with a 3 pole receptacle. if you use an extension cord, it must meet
amperage specified (18 aWG), and the cord must be 3-pronged.
This unit is designed for use with an existing dust
collection system, or you can construct a new system.
1.
If constructing a new system, connect 4″ vent pipe
(not included) to the 4″ inlet side of the collector.
2. Determine the size of the dust ports on
your tools. Run vacuum hoses from each
tool to an appropriate sized adapter and
into the 4″ vent pipe (none included).

Do not use.
3. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
Table A shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
4. Make sure that the Switch is in its off
position. Insert Switch Key. Plug the
Power Cord into the power outlet.
5. Turn the switch on to operate the Dust Collector.
6. Make sure the Collection Bag (10)
is on tight and not leaking.
7. During operation, periodically check how full
the Collection Bag is. Do not let it fill more
than 3/4 full. A completely full bag puts a
lot of stress on the bag and the clamp.
8. To change the Collection Bag, wear ANSI-
approved safety goggles, and a dust mask. Turn
Dust Collector off, remove the Clamp (11), and
empty the bag. Reinstall the bag and clamp.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the appliance, remove
Switch Key, and unplug after use.
Empty and clean Bag,
then store the appliance indoors
out of children’s reach.
note:
Empty Bag soon after every use. If the
bag is allowed to sit for a long time, the dust
may compact, making it hard to remove.
