SHOP PLACEMENT / SPACE CONSIDERATIONS
Because each shop situation is unique, the following factors should be taken into consideration when determining
and before deciding on the ideal installation to best suit your shop dust collection needs.
The unit should be installed as close to the dust source(s) as possible. This unit is mounted on casters and as such
the dust collector can be moved from one location to another within the shop if a permanent installation location
is not practical or desired.
In all cases the unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy and stable surface that is able to support the weight of the
unit (198 lbs - 90 kg) as well as the weight of the operator. The casters should be blocked to prevent the unit from
moving when it is in use.
This model 10-800CF M1 is equipped with a 5” main hose
inlet that is fitted with a dual-inlet “Y” fitting allowing you to
connect up to two 4” dust hoses. Consider the space requirements for the unit and its use
when deciding where to install your dust collector in your
shop.

Wherever possible avoid running hoses and ducting along
the floor. Keep hoses and ducting safely mounted along the walls.
LAYING OUT A PLAN FOR THE PIPING:
For permanent installations it is advisable to map out a rough layout of your planned installation starting from the
dust collector out to all the machines that you wish to connect to the system. You may vary your layout to suit your
specific shop needs and may choose to use metal or plastic ducting, or flexible hose in any combination as suit-
ed to your needs.
Note: To avoid accidents as well as damage to ducting or hoses, plan your installation with hoses and ducting run-
ning along walls or mounted from above wherever possible. See the accompanying examples of non-recommend-
ed and re-commended installations.
HOSES AND DUCTING RUNNING ALONG THE SHOP FLOOR BETWEEN MACHINERY CAN CAUSE USERS TO TRIP AND LEAD TO
SERIOUS INJURY.
