Maintenance Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to
any specific instructions given in this section.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain
proper machine operation, shut down the
machine immediately if you ever observe any
of the items below, and fix the problem before
continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged filter canister, cleaning paddle
components, or collection bags.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Suction leaks.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup off machine body
and motor.
Always disconnect
machine from power before
performing maintenance or
serious personal injury may
result.
!
Dust exposure created while
using machinery may cause
cancer, birth defects, or long-
term respiratory damage.
Always wear goggles and a
NIOSH approved respirator
when working with the dust
collection bags or canisters.
Cleaning Canister
Filter
This dust collector uses an automatic filter
brush to remove dust buildup and debris from
the filter pleats. The system will turn ON for
approximately 90 seconds after the machine is
turned OFF to clean the canister filter and knock
dust cake into the filter bag.
If operating pressure on pressure gauge
drops below 200mmAq, remove canister filter
and gently knock dust from pleats (refer to
Removing/Replacing Canister Filter
on Page 37). If operating pressure reaches
150mmAq and cleaning does not improve
performance, replace the filter.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use water or high pressure
to clean canister filter. Doing so will damage the
filter and reduce filtration.
Dispose of the filter collection bag when dust fills
it about
1
⁄
2
full (see Removing/Replacing Filter
Collection Bag on Page 37).
IMPORTANT:
To contain wood dust and minimize
risk of exposure, firmly tie bag closed.
