ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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 120 volts 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.
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.
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.
