3.SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and allow impeller to come to a complete stop before servic- ing or working on the dust collector ducting system.
4.SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNITION SOURCES. Do not operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks would be high if dust were dispersed into the area. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights and/or open flames.
