DUST HAZARDS AND SAFETY
GROUNDING THE DUCT WORK
NOTE:
For permanent dust collector set-ups, the following instructions are recommended. For the occasional
use of any dust collector, care must none-the-less be taken to keep the hose and bag clean.
Dust particles moving through flexible or rigid plastic duct work can cause static electricity build-up. The duct
work must be properly grounded to ensure that static discharge does not ignite fine dust particles causing an
explosion or fire.
To properly ground
plastic
duct work, simply run a small gauge bare copper wire through the ducting and have
it emerge from the hose at the dust collector and at each dust producing machine. The bare copper wire should
be bonded to the metal shell of each machine by means of a metal screw. The screw must be threaded into the
metal shell to ensure a good connection.
The grounding of
metal
duct work is similar, the only difference is that there is no need to run the bare copper
wire inside the ducting. It can be wrapped along the out side of the ducting and should be bonded to each
machine as described above.
EMPTYING & CLEANING THE DUST COLLECTOR
CAUTION:
Make sure the dust collector is unplugged before cleaning or servicing.
Always wear a dust mask or respirator while emptying the collector bags or cleaning the dust collector. Please
refer to the California Proposition 65
warning on page 6 of this manual regarding hazards from exposure to
wood dust. For more detailed information visit
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood.
