SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
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.
Schedule
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Emptying Collection
Drum
Dispose of the collection drum bag when
3
⁄
4
full,
as seen in the drum window (see
Page 45).
IMPORTANT: To contain wood dust and minimize
risk of exposure, firmly tie bag closed.
If the bag gets overfilled, the dust will be sucked
into the intake barrel and passed through to the
canister filter and filter bag. Avoid allowing this to
happen, as it may reduce filter life.
Check the drum window regularly to prevent
excessive dust buildup in the collection drum.
This dust collector uses a handle and internal
paddles to remove excess dust and debris from
the filter pleats. Move the handle back and forth
through its range of motion to knock dust into the
filter bag. Dispose of the bag when dust fills it
about
1
⁄
2
full.
After extended use, the filter should be replaced,
or throughly cleaned by hand.
To clean canister filter by hand:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove canister filter (see Page 44).
3. Rinse filter with water in an appropriate out-
door location.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use compressed air
to clean or dry the filter, as this can spread
fine dust into the air and damage filter fibers.
4. Allow filter to air dry only. DO NOT use heat.
Cleaning Canister
Filter
Dust exposure created
while using machinery
may cause cancer, birth
defects, or long-term respi-
ratory damage. Always
wear goggles and a NIOSH-
approved respirator when
working with the dust col-
lection bags or canisters.
