GENERAL SAFETY RULES
FOR POWER TOOLS
1. KNOW YOUR TOOL
Read and understand the owners
manual and labels affixed to the tool.
Learn its application and limitations as
well as specific potential hazards.
2. GROUND THE TOOL.
This tool is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and a 3-prong
grounding type plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green
conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire.
NEVER
connect the green wire to
a live terminal.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

adjusted and aligned.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents. Make sure the floor is clean
and not slippery due to wax and
sawdust build-up.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose them to rain. Keep
work area well lit and provide adequate
surrounding work space.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF.
Use padlocks, master switches or
remove starter keys.
9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
FOR YOUR DUST COLLECTOR
CAUTION
: If using this dust collector to
keep airborne wood dust in heavy usage
within acceptable limits, you must
regularly monitor airborne dust and
maintain the dust collector to avoid
exceeding dust limits. Each application is
unique. Your maintenance schedule must
therefore be tailored to your specific use.
Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert and knowing how your dust
collector works.
WARNING:
TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT
COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS,
PERMANENT
INJURY, DO NOT
CONNECT THE POWER CORD UNTIL
THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN
COMPLETED:
1. Assembly, mounting and alignment.
2. Learn the function and proper use of the
‘’ON/OFF’’ switch.
3. Read and understand all instructions
and operating procedures throughout
the manual.
BEFORE EACH USE
:
1. Inspect your dust collector. If any parts
are missing, bent, or fail in any way, or
any electrical components do not work
properly, turn off the dust collector,
remove the switch key and remove the
power cord from the power supply.
Replace damaged, missing or failed
parts before using the dust collector
again.
2. Plan your work to protect your eyes,
hands, face, ears and body.
3.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
. ‘’FORE-
SIGHT IS BETTER THAN NO SIGHT’’.
Wear safety goggles, not glasses, that
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Operating any
power tool can result in foreign objects
being thrown into the eyes which can
result in permanent eye damage.
4. When cleaning the dust collector bags,
wear a dust mask.
This dust collector is specifically designed
to capture sawdust and wood chips at the
source. The fine dust is filtered by the
upper dust bag while the heavier particles
settle in the lower dust bag for easy
removal. DO NOT USE AS A VACUUM.
CAUTION
: The blower housing contains a
high speed fan blade that can amputate
fingers, grab loose clothing and neckties,
or propel dust at high velocities.
DO NOT
OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN
PLACE
.
Do not attempt to clean, remove dust bags
or service while in operation. Disconnect
from power source.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: Static shock is
common in dry areas or when the relative
humidity of the air is low. To reduce the
frequency of static shock in your home, the
best remedy is to add moisture to the air
with a console or installed humidifier.
