ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE CYCLONE DUST COLLECTOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
GenerAl InForMAtIon- 220V single phase operation
This cyclone dust collector comes with a 3 HP 220V single phase
motor.
wArnInG:
YOUR CYCLONE DUST COLLECTOR MUST BE
CONNECTED TO A 220V-240V, 1 PHASE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY
FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
This cyclone dust collector is intended for use on an electrical circuit
that has an outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
wArnInG:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY
ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
GroundInG
Your cyclone dust collector must be properly grounded. Not all outlets
are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
cyclone dust collector is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
wArnInG:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR
CYCLONE DUST COLLECTOR, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE
GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
wArnInG:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS CYCLONE DUST
COLLECTOR CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY
WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF
THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
eXtensIon cords
The use of an extension cord is generally not recommended for 220V-
240V operation. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. Use the table (Fig.2) to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire
extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole
receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the cyclone dust collector motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and
size.
MAGnetIc swItcH
On the side of the impellor housing is the magnetic switch (Fig.3). The
ON button (A) Fig.3 turns the cyclone dust collector motor “ON”.
This magnetic switch is equipped with an Emergency Twist OFF (Stop)

button (B) which turns the cyclone dust collector motor “OFF”. To
reset the magnetic switch and to turn the machine on again, first
push the Emergency Twist OFF (Stop) button (B) in, then twist it
clockwise until it pops out. The magnetic switch ON button (A) will
only work once the OFF button has poped out.
