To locate and mark wooden wall studs in a finished wall, use a
stud finder. As you locate the studs in your desired mounting
area, be sure to mark both edges and the centerline of each
stud.
Fig. 1. Be aware that stud spacing can vary. Take your
time identifying and marking the studs to be sure you are certain
of their locations. If you have any doubts that you have located
the studs properly, seek professional installation assistance.
Choosing a Mounting Location
The mounting holes on the Dust Right 1250 CFM Wall
Mount Dust Collector are spaced horizontally 16" on center to
correspond to the common spacing for wall studs. If your desired
mounting location on an open-stud wall does not line up with
studs spaced 16" on center – or if you are mounting to a finished
wall you
MUST first bolt two horizontal 2 x 4 wooden cleats to
wooden wall studs and then mount the Dust Collector to the
cleats. The cleats must be spaced vertically 12" apart (from the top
of one cleat to the top of the other) to accommodate the spacing
on the Dust Collector’s mounting bracket. Additionally, the cleats
must be long enough that both ends can be bolted to a wooden
wall stud.

> Do NOT install the Dust Right 1250 CFM Wall Mount
Dust Collector outside the work area, especially if the
work area contains a gas-fueled appliance. In drawing
the air outside, the dust collector could lead to a buildup
inside the work area of combustion gases – including
deadly carbon monoxide – that normally are vented
from gas-fueled appliances.
> The Dust Right 1250 CFM Wall Mount Dust Collector
must be secured using all four included 5/16" x 3" Washer
Head Lag Screws driven into structurally sound wooden
wall studs or into 2 x 4 wooden cleats securely attached
to wooden wall studs. All cleats spanning wall studs must
be long enough that both ends of the cleats can be bolted
to studs.
> Do NOT use wall anchors or drywall anchors to mount
the Dust Right 1250 CFM Wall Mount Dust Collector.
> To prevent damage to the power cord, select a mounting
location for the Dust Collector that will keep the cord out
of high-traffic areas.
> After assembly or maintenance, make sure that you
have removed all loose tools from the machine before
turning it on.
