OPERATION

TIPS AND TRICKS

1. Your dust collector is designed to collect sawdust and other fine particles, such as that produced by sanders, 

band saws, etc. If you plan to use it with a machine that produces larger chips or shavings, such as a thickness 

planer or jointer, we recommend using a cyclone separator or similar filter upstream of the dust collector, to prevent 

clogging.
2. When turning the dust collector on or off, you may hear a clicking sound as the motor spins up or down. This is 

normal and does not indicate a problem; it is just the motor’s centrifugal switch.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Your tool is equipped with a circuit breaker to protect the motor from overloading or overheating. In case of over-

load, the circuit breaker will pop out to shut down the machine. Wait a few minutes, then press the circuit breaker 

to reset it. Restart the machine to continue operation.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

1. Regularly clean dust, chips and other particles from the machine. If operation is excessively dusty or dirty, fre-

quent inspection of motor is required. Vacuum any particles that may have entered the motor.
2. Inspect the machine for any damaged or worn parts. Replace any damaged parts immediately for safe and ef-

ficient operation. Frequently check that all nuts, bolts, screws have not loosened due to vibration.
3. Regularly check and empty the collection bag. Always wear respirator and safety glasses when removing, emp-

tying or replacing collection bags. Empty dust away from ignition sources and into a suitable container. Your dust 

collector will perform at its best when the collection bag is half full or less.

STORAGE

Store the unit and accessories in a dark, dry, frost-free and well ventilated place, out of the reach of children. The 

ideal storage temperature is between 50 to 86 °F (10 and 30 °C).

PRODUCT DISPOSAL

Used power tools contain recyclable materials and should not be disposed with household waste. Please take this 

product to your local recycling facility for responsible disposal and to minimize its environmental impact.

WARNING!

 Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the outlet before mak-

ing any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
