SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Superabrasive cannot predict all possible
circumstances that could present a potential hazard.
The warnings defined in this manual should not be
considered completely inclusive of all hazardous
situations.
• It is the responsibility of the employer or vacuum
owner to train any personnel that will be operating the
vacuum unit, while complying with all local laws and
regulations.
• This specific dust collector has been designed for the
vacuuming and collection of dusts and solid debris.
This model is not intended for any other uses or
applications. • IMPORTANT: Only use specified filters
applicable to the operation of this dust collector.
• To ensure efficient operation of the dust collector, it
must be protected from extreme environmental
conditions and elements. This may include rain, snow,
hail, and airborne debris.
• The dust collector should only be operated in
environments with a temperature between 41°F and
113°F (5°C to 45°C) and a maximum relative humidity
of 70%.
• The work environment for the vacuum should be
clean, well-lit, and free of combustible elements.
• Before the dust collector is connected to the power
source, ensure that the electrical voltage and frequency
is correct for your specific machine model.
• The dust collector should not be operated without the
proper filters installed. This could possibly result in
damage to the machine, and cause harm to
surrounding personnel.
• Do not open the waste container or motor head
assembly while the vacuum is operating.
• Do not vacuum any flammable materials or
substances such as fuels, solvents, etc. A dust
collector must be specifically designed and labeled for
such operation. When grinding epoxy, first ensure that
the epoxy is non-toxic.
• Do not vacuum any corrosive substances unless the
vacuum is specifically outfitted with containers suitable
for this purpose.
• Do not vacuum any burning, smoldering, or hot
materials. This could result in a possible explosion
and/or damage to the vacuum components.
• If toxic or harmful substances accidentally enter the
vacuum cleaner, the container and filters must be
removed and cleaned immediately using the proper
protective equipment and safety procedures.
• When performing any type of maintenance
procedures on the vacuum cleaner, be sure that the
power switches are turned off and the power cable is
disconnected from the power source. Utilize the
locking caster wheel to prevent movement while work is
being performed.
• Make sure the power cable is free from damage while
operating the vacuum. If the power cable is found to be
damaged, discontinue use of the vacuum and replace
the power cable immediately.
• When moving the dust collector, never pull on the
power cable or vacuum hose. For this purpose,
always use the designated handles mounted on the
machine.
• For this specific dust collector, sound tests indicate
that the emitted noise is level is measured at a
maximum of 83 decibels (dBA), for a distance of 1
meter from the machine (and height of 1.60 meters).
The vibrations emitted from the machine have been
measured at a maximum value of 2.5 m/s2. •
CAUTION: The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that exposure
to noise in the working environment be maintained
below a level equivalent to 85 dBA for a period of eight
hours, in order to minimize occupational, noiseinduced
hearing loss. Any persons working in proximity of the
vacuum cleaner should wear the proper hearing
protection in order to prevent hearing loss. Please refer
to you local laws and regulations for further information
on the matter.
• When storing the vacuum, the filter should be
removed and cleaned, and the waste container should
be emptied of debris. Store the vacuum in
temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
Cover the vacuum in order to protect it from
accumulating debris and/ or environmental elements .
