According to many OSHA, ANSI, STATE, and LOCAL
CODES, it is the Employers Responsibility to:
•
PERMIT ONLY
trained and authorized employees to
operate equipment.
•
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN
guards, safety devices
and start/stop controls.
•
INSTRUCT, TRAIN
and
SUPERVISE
the safe method
of work.
Serious personal injury may occur if normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Obtain advice from supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified individual who is familiar with the
machine and its operations.
Every work area is different. Always consider safety
first, as it applies to your work area. Use any machine
with respect and caution. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury and damage to the machine.
STOP
using the machine, if at any time you experience
difficulties in performing any operation. Contact your
supervisor, instructor or machine service center immedi-
ately.
OPERATIONS
HELPFUL HINTS:
• Always run the largest appropriate diameter hose
as far as possible. Running a smaller diameter hose
will greatly reduce the C.F.M. at the tool, yielding
marginal dust collection.
• The use of a low rated micron filter and collection
bag can increase the effectiveness of your dust
collector in removing fine particles of dust.
• Determine if you are to use your Dust Collector in a
Dust Collection System or as a direct hook-up to an
individual tool. If used in a Dust Collection System,
review Static Pressure Requirements.
To protect yourself from a static shock, ground the
dust collection system to a known ground.
If using the Dust Collector in a Dust Collector
System, make certain to:
• Ground the dust collection system to a known
ground.
• Always keep blast gates closed to unused tools.
• Make all runs as short as possible, minimizing the
number of bends or turns that could greatly reduce
the efficiency of your Dust Collector.
• Position the tools that have the highest C.F.M.
requirements closest to the Dust Collector.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
• What is the maximum C.F.M. required for each tool
you intend to use? Your Dust Collector should be
rated for the tool that has the highest C.F.M.
requirement.
• Will two or more tools be running at the same time?
The Dust Collector should be rated to handle the
combined C.F.M. requirements of all operating tools.
CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA
by
removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the
electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
LOCKING SWITCH IN
THE "OFF" POSITION
When the Dust Collector is not in use, the switch key
should be removed so that it cannot be started. Grasp
the switch key and pull it out of the switch assembly.
With the switch key removed, the switch will not oper-
ate. However, should the switch key be removed while
the dust collector is running, it can be turned “OFF”, but
cannot be restarted without inserting the switch key.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF switch assembly is located on the side of
the motor. To turn the dust collector “ON”, move the
switch up to the “ON” position. To turn the dust collector
“OFF”, move the same switch down to the “OFF”
position.
