WARNING
Section 2.0 Safety
2.1 Operation Safety:
The S-Series is to be used for wood per NFPA 664 and other applications per NFPA 654.
DO NOT operate the machine under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
DO NOT use the collector to pick up liquids or any metal or metal scrap. Metal debris contacting the
spinning impeller could produce a spark causing a fire and/or explosion.
DO NOT pick up any material too large to safely pass through the fan impeller.
Do NOT place any body parts or tools near the fan inlet during operation for any reason.
DO NOT allow any metal object to strike the machine frame as it could produce a spark. Note:
Sparks can smolder in wood dust for a long time before a fire or flame is detected. If metal
contacts metal during operation, immediately turn off the dust collector, unplug the power
cord from the outlet or lock the main switch on the power supply and wait for all moving
parts to stop. Remove the dust collection bags and empty the dust into an approved air-tight
metal container in case of spark and remedy the metal to metal contact problem as needed
before resuming operation.
DO NOT allow any open flames or heat sources within 10 feet of machine or containers as
suspended dust may cause a fire and/or an explosion.
To prevent static electricity generation in systems with a flammable and explosive
atmosphere, ensure that such systems are electrically grounded.
Maintenance work or problems concerning any moving parts must not begin until the
entire system has come to a complete stop.
