ON/OFF LOCKING SAFETY SWITCH
CAUTION:
Make sure that the On/Off locking switch is in the
“Off”
position before
plugging the dust collector into a power source.
The On/Off Locking Switch has a center Safety Key (A) that can be used to prevent
unauthorized use of the dust collector. The switch needs to have the center key
inserted before the machine can be used. Figure 13.
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 the 60-105 Portable 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.
OPERATION
EMPTYING & CLEANING THE DUST COLLECTOR
See page 8 for information.
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.rikontools.com or www.oehha.ca.gov.
INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKET -
CONTINUED
4. Once the mounting bracket is installed, the dust
collector can be hung on the bracket’s 2 posts. The
base of the dust collector has 2 mounting holes in the
base plate near the on/off switch for this purpose.
5. To secure the dust collector on the mounting
bracket, attach a large Washer (#39) and Hex Nut
(#35) to the bracket’s threaded end. Figure 12.
FIG. 12
USE OF THE INLET CAP
A rubber Inlet Cap (#19) is provided to safely cover/plug
the 4” inlet port on the Housing Cover (#20) when the
hose is disconnected, or for dust collector storage.
