Symptom
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Loud, repetitious
noise, or excessive
vibration coming
from dust collector
(non-motor related).
1. Dust collector not on a flat surface and
wobbles.
2. Impeller damaged and unbalanced.
3. Impeller loose on the motor shaft.
1. Stabilize dust collector; lock casters.
2. Disconnect dust collector from power. Inspect
impeller for dents, bends, or loose fins. Replace
impeller if damaged.
3. Secure impeller; replace motor and impeller as a set
if motor shaft and impeller hub are damaged.
Dust collector does
not adequately
collect dust or chips;
poor performance.
1. Collection bag full.
2. Canister filter clogged/at fault.
3. Ducting blocked/restricted.
4. Dust collector too far away from point of
suction; duct clamps not properly secured;
too many sharp bends in ducting.
5. Lumber is wet and dust is not flowing
smoothly through ducting.
6. Ducting has one or more leaks, or too
many open ports.
7. Not enough open branch lines at one time,
causing velocity drop in main line.
8. Ducting and ports are incorrectly sized.
9. The machine dust-collection design
inadequate.
10. Dust collector undersized.
1. Empty collection bag.
2. Clean canister filter (
Page 41); replace canister filter
(
Page 44).
3. Remove ducting from dust collector inlet and
unblock restriction. A plumbing snake may be
necessary.
4. Relocate dust collector closer to point of suction;
re-secure ducts; remove sharp bends. Refer to
Designing the System in manual.
5. Only process lumber with less than 20% moisture
content.
6. Seal/eliminate all ducting leaks; close dust ports
for lines not being used. Refer to
Designing the
System in manual.
7. Open 1 or 2 more blast gates to different branch
lines to increase main line velocity.
8. Install correctly sized ducts and fittings (
Page 28)
Refer to
Designing the System in manual.
9. Use dust-collection hood on stand.
10. Install larger dust collector.
Dust collector blows
sawdust into the air.
1. Duct clamps or filter bag(s) are not properly
clamped and secured; ducting loose/
damaged.
2. Cylinder or funnel seals are loose or
damaged.
1. Re-secure ducts and filter bag, making sure duct
and bag clamp are tight; tighten/replace ducting.
2. Retighten all mounting and sealing points; replace
damaged seals/gaskets.
Remote control
does not operate
dust collector.
1. Emergency Stop button is pressed in.
2. Machine is disconnected from power.
3. Remote control battery is weak or dead.
4. A wall or barrier disrupts the radio
frequency, or controller is too far away.
1. Rotate E-Stop button to reset.
2. Verify machine is connected to power source.
3. Replace battery.
4. Move machine away from barrier; use remote within
75' of machine.
