OPERATION
Operating the CT186 dust collector is very
simple and straightforward.
Make sure the dust collector is properly
assembled and worked during the test run.
Move the CT186 close to the machine and
use a proper sized hose connecting the
hose with its one end to the machine and
the other end to the dust collector.
Make sure the connections are secured
using hose clamps and connect the ducting
ground and the dust collector is ready for
operation.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on this machine is fairly simple.
Each time you use your dust collector, make
sure to properly clean the bags and take a
quick inventory of your machines
performance. Check the dust collector
regularly for loose bolts, screws, ensure the
dust collection bag has no tears, and ensure
all wires are in good condition.
BAG CLEANING
Empty the collection bag on a regular basis.
The machine will run more efficiently if the
collecting bag is emptied regularly.
Make sure the switch in the OFF position
and the cord is disconnected from the
power source.
Make sure you are wearing a respirator or
dust mask while emptying the collection
bag. The tiny dust particles in the air can be
inhaled easily and is very injurious to
health.
Uninstall the clamp securing the collection
bag around the collector ring. Remove the
collection bag and empty it.
Re-install the bag and clamp it.
CLEANING THE CANISTER
(If using a canister)
The canister has a cleaning handle which
allows for easy cleaning of the canister by
simply rotating the handle. After each use,
rotate the handle at least one full turn. The
fins inside the canister will knock most of
the dust into the lower collection bag.
Make sure not to clean the canister using
water or compressed air which can damage
the filtration pleats of the filter. Always use
the cleaning handle.
LUBRICATION
CT186 comes equipped with shielded
bearings which are permanently lubricated.
So, there is not need to lubricate them.
WARNING!
Do not use the CT186 for any other
operation other than collecting sawdust.
Failure to do so could result in
malfunction of the machine and may
void the warranty.
WARNING!
Do not make any adjustments while the
machine is running. Turn off the
machine and un-plug from the power
source before making any adjustments.
