CAUTION:
If using this dust collector to keep airborne wood dust in
heavy usage within acceptable limits, you must regularly monitor
airborne dust and maintain the dust collector to avoid exceeding dust
limits. Each application is unique. Your maintenance schedule must
therefore be tailored to your specific use.
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing
how your dust collector works.
WARNING:
TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO NOT CONNECT THE
POWER CORD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN
COMPLETED:
1. Assembly, mounting and alignment.
2. Learn the function and proper use of the ‘’ON/OFF’’ switch.
3. Read and understand all instructions and operating procedures
throughout the manual.
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. Inspect your dust collector. If any parts are missing, bent, or fail in
any way, or any electrical components do not work properly, turn
off the dust collector, remove the switch key and remove the power
cord from the power supply. Replace damaged, missing or failed
parts before using the dust collector again.
2. Plan your work to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
3.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. ‘’FORESIGHT IS BETTER THAN
NO SIGHT’’
. Wear safety goggles, not glasses, that comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Operating any power tool can result in foreign objects
being thrown into the eyes which can result in permanent eye
damage.
4. When cleaning the dust collector bags, wear a dust mask.
This dust collector is specifically designed to capture sawdust and
wood chips at the source. The fine dust is filtered by the upper dust
bag while the heavier particles settle in the lower dust bag for easy
removal.
DO NOT USE AS A VACUUM
.
CAUTION:
The blower housing contains a high speed fan blade that
can amputate fingers, grab loose clothing and neckties, or propel dust
at high velocities.
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN
PLACE
.
Do not attempt to clean, remove dust bags or service while in
operation. Disconnect from power source.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Static shocks are common in dry areas or
when the relative humidity of the air is low. To reduce the frequency
of static shocks in your home, the best remedy is to add moisture to
the air with a console or installed humidifier.
