RE-ASSEMBLING THE CANISTER FILTER AFTER CLEANING
1. With the aid of another person, carefully re-insert the canister filter
repeating step 1,2,3 and 4 in reverse.
EMPTYING OR REPLACING THE FILTER BAG
Periodically check the filter bag, if it is more than one third full, it is
recommended that you empty it.
NOTE: If the filter bag gets too full, the weight may force it to pull away
from the band clamp, exposing the user to potentially harmful particulates.
1. Release the spring-loaded band clamp at the bottom of the filter and
remove the filter bag.
2. Empty or replace the filter bag and re-attach using the spring-loaded
band clamp.
EMPTYING THE DRUM
Periodically inspect the contents of the drum and empty as needed. To
inspect the contents of the drum:
1. Raise the drum foot peddle bar to lower the drum to the floor.
2. Roll it away from the machine, inspect and empty as needed.
ROUTINE INSPECTION
It is a good idea to routinely inspect all quality woodworking tools in order
to keep them in optimum condition. This includes inspecting all hardware
for tightness, ensuring filters are clean, and cleaning debris and grime
from any surfaces and moving parts.
7. Troubleshooting guide
Machine does not start or a breaker trips.
Possible Cause
1. Power supply switched OFF or is faulty.
2. Wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown/tripped.
3. Faulty remote control.
4. Remote receiver is faulty.
5. Incorrectly wired motor connection.
6. On-board circuit breaker is tripped.
7. Wiring is open/has high resistance.
8. Faulty power switch.
9. Motor is at fault.
Possible Solution
1. Ensure power supply is ON and has the correct voltage.
2. Ensure adequate circuit size; install inlet restrictor, replace weak breaker.
3. Replace batteries; ensure unobstructed line-of-sight and signal range.
4. Inspect receiver circuit board; replace if faulty.
5. Rewire or call certified service technician or electrician.
6. Allow motor to cool, improve ventilation, press reset button.
7. Check for broken wires or poor connections, repair as necessary.
8. Replace switch.
9. Test/repair/replace.
Excessive vibration or noise during operation.
Possible Cause
1. Loose component.
2. Loose or broken motor mount.
3. Motor fan hitting fan cover.
4. Bad motor bearings.
Possible Solution
1. Inspect and tighten all bolts/nuts.
2. Tighten or replace as needed.
3. Check fan and cover; replace as needed.
4. Rotate shaft manually, check for grinding or loose shaft, replace bearings
if needed.
Loud, repetitive noise, or excessive vibration coming from
cyclone
Possible Cause
1. Machine is on uneven surface.
2. Damaged/Unbalanced impeller.
3. Loose connections.
4. Impeller is loose.
5. Motor fan hitting fan cover.
Possible Solution
1. Stabilize on a flat surface.
2. Inspect impeller for dents, bends, loose fins. Replace if needed.
3. Check and re-tighten all fasteners.
4. Replace the motor and impeller.
5. Check fan and cover; replace as needed.
Dust cyclone does not adequately collect dust or chips;
poor performance.
Possible Cause
1. Canister end cap is full.
2. Filter is dirty.
3. Restricted duct line.
4. Suction route is too long or has too many sharp bends.
5. Wet lumber is clogging ducts.
6. Leaks in the duct work or too many open ports.
7. Inadequate velocity in the main suction line.
8. Wrong size ducting/ports used.
Possible Solution
1. Empty canister end cap.
2. Clean filter.
3. Clean inlet splitter.
4. Move machine closer to the point of suction, and rerun ducts to eliminate
sharp bends.
5. Use lumber with less than 20% moisture content.
6. Repair all duct leaks and close any ports not being used.
7. Increase velocity by opening 1 or 2 more blast gates to different branch
lines.
8. Re-size and re-install ducts and fittings.
Sawdust being blown into the air from the dust cyclone.
Possible Cause
1. Band clamp or end cap is not secure.
2. Loose or damaged seals.
Possible Solution
1. Re-install ensuring a tight fit.
2. Replace seals and gaskets.
