SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DUST COLLECTORS
1.
The filtration housing
contains a high speed fan blade that can amputate fingers, grab loose clothing and
neckties, and propel dust at high velocities.
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN PLACE.
2.
Do not
attempt to clean, remove the dust bags, or service the unit when the power is on. Turn the unit off and
disconnect the cord from the power source.
3.
Static shocks
are common in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. The use of a humidifier
where the dust collector is to be used will help raise the relative humidity, and may reduce static shocks.
4.
Sparks
inside the electrical parts can ignite flammable vapours or dust.
5.
Do not
vacuum, or use the dust collector near flammable or combustible liquids, gases, gasoline or other fuels,
lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, or explosive dusts like coal dust, magnesium dust,
grain dust, or gun powder.
6.
To avoid health hazards
from vapours or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.
7.
Do not
use or store near hazardous material.
8.
Do not
use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
9.
Put the unit
on a stable, level surface.
10.
Position
the vacuum hose and electric cord away from traffic areas.
11.
Do not
allow the unit to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
12.
Do not leave
the dust collector plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
13.
To avoid injury
from accidental starting, unplug the power cord before changing or cleaning the filter/dust bag or
chip bag.
14.
Do not
use without the filter/dust bag and/or chip bag in place.
15.
Do not
unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
16.
Turn off the controls
before unplugging.
17.
Do not
use with a damaged cord, plug, or other parts. If your dust collection system is not working as it should,
has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an authorised
Service Centre.
18.
Do not
pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close the door on the cord, or pull the cord. Keep the
cord away from heated surfaces.
19.
Do not
handle the plug of the dust collector with wet hands.
