OPERATIONS
W1666, W1685 Dust Collectors
OPERATIONS
General
Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly
if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this sec-
tion are written with the understanding that the opera-
tor has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate
this machine. If at any time you are experiencing
difficulties performing any operation, stop using the
machine! If you are an inexperienced operator, we
strongly recommend that you read books, trade articles,
or seek training from an experienced dust collector
operator before performing any unfamiliar operations.
Above all, your safety should come first!
Dust collectors do not eliminate the
fine, and most harmful, dust from
the workshop. Always wear a NIOSH
approved respirator to help protect
yourself from the respiratory dangers
caused by the inhalation of fine dust.
Operation
This dust collector is designed for collecting wood dust
from woodworking machines. The Model W1666 will draw
up to 1550 CFM, and the Model W1685 will draw up to
1280 CFM. The dust collectors are not designed to be
used as central whole-house vacuums. Central vacuum
systems and woodshop dust collection systems have
completely different vacuum pumps and are not inter-
changeable. For safe operation and the best dust collec-
tion results, please follow the rules below:
• ALWAYS wear a NIOSH approved respirator to help
protect yourself from the respiratory dangers caused
by the inhalation of fine dust. Dust collectors do not
eliminate the fine, and most harmful, dust from the
workshop.
• DO NOT collect metal pieces, glass, or liquid with
this dust collector. It is intended for collecting wood
dust only (
Figure 25
). Metal pieces may spark when
they contact the impeller and cause a fire.
• USE a 4" dust collection hose that is as short as pos-
sible. Remember, the longer the hose, and the more
bends in the ducting, the less CFM your dust collec-
tor will draw.
• LIMIT the use of 90˚ elbows or 45˚ elbows. These
fittings will decrease the overall efficiency of the
dust collector.
• GROUND your dust collection hose to protect against
unpleasant static shock, and in the worst case, an
accidental fire.
