Safety
• Do not use this system near flammable or combustible liquids or gases including gasoline or other fuels,
cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas or explosive dusts like coal dust, magnesium, grain dust, or gun powder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes or hot ashes.
• Do not vacuum toxic materials or use near hazardous materials.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not operate with a full waste container.
• To avoid collapse, use 26 gauge steel or thicker for ductwork.
• Install on a stable level surface. Because the Tempest is top-heavy, be certain to secure the motor/blower unit to a wall. If assembled on a stand, make
sure the base and supporting structure is stable. Secure the upper portion of the unit with safety wire.
• Do not use without filter bag or canisters attached.
• Turn off controls before unplugging. Do not pull cord to unplug, grasp plug and remove from receptacle.
• Do not operate with the motor/blower off of the cyclone- this could cause severe overheating and/or motor burnout.
• Do not use with damaged cord, plug, or other parts. Only install to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not wear loose clothing in the area of any inlets because high suction could pull and stretch garments into blower
• If your ductwork consists of only plastic hose or pipe, ground hose or pipe by wrapping bare copper wire around the exterior surface and ground the
wire at either end.
• Keep hands free from spinning impeller.
• The Tempest is only warranted and guaranteed for the collection of wood dust although it may be quite suitable for other applications.
