Please review the safety rules if you are not sure about the risks associated with operating this machine. Turn on the power supply at the main panel if not already on. Flip toggle switch on and be ready to switch off just in case there is a prob- lem. The dust collector should run smoothly and be free of vibration or rubbing noises. Unusual or strange sounds or symptoms must be investigat- ed and the problem corrected before proceeding further.
WARNING: Make sure the G1032 is unplugged and moving parts have come to a complete stop before investigating any problems or performing any maintenance or adjustments.
If everything is running smoothly, perform a test of the dust collector. Ensure that the collector picks up sawdust freely and easily. If it does not, review the assembly process and your duct sys- tem.
The G1032 dust collectors can be either operat- ed as mobile or stationary units. There are advan- tages and disadvantages to both systems. The primary advantage of a mobile system is low expense of ducts and fittings. On the other hand a stationary system is more versatile and conve- nient.
You may wish to locate your dust collector away from the work area in an adjacent room or closet. If you do locate the dust collector in an adjacent room by running a duct through the wall, be sure there are no open flames and/or gas appliances with pilot lights. There is a risk of explosion if dust is dispersed into the air. You must also ensure that the volume of air entering the room or closet is properly vented back into the workshop.
IMPORTANT: The maximum size and extent of any particular stationary system is limited and dependent upon the size and power of the dust collector.
WARNING: Ensure that all duct work is ground- ed to discharge the
