EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole
receptacle which will accept the tool s plug. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the dust collector.
An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Fig. 18, shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

The ON/OFF power switch (A) Fig. 19, is located on the
side of the motor.
To turn the machine ON , move the
switch toggle (B) upward. To turn the switch OFF , move
the switch toggle (B) downward.
LOCKING SWITCH IN
T H E
OFF POSITION
W e suggest that when the dust collector is not in use, the
switch be locked in the OFF position. This can be done
by grasping the switch toggle (B) Fig. 20, and pulling it
out of the switch (A) as shown. With the switch toggle
removed, the switch will not operate. However, should
the switch toggle be removed while the machine is
running, the switch can be turned OFF once, but
cannot be restarted without inserting switch toggle (B).
SAFETY G ATES
1.
The dust collector is equipped with two safety gates
(A) Fig. 21. IMPORTA N T:When the dust collector is in
use, the safety gates (A) Fig. 21, should always be in the
open position, to allow dust and wood chips to flow freely
through the vacuum hose (B) and into the dust collection
bag (C).
2.
IMPORTA N T:When the dust collector is not in use,
the safety gates (A) Fig. 21, should always be pushed
inward into the closed position over the inlet and outlet
housings (as shown) to avoid anyone coming in contact
with the fan blade or sharp edges and promote operator
safety.
