Additional Safety Instructions For Dust Collectors
1.This dust collector is to be used for wood dust collection only. DO NOT use this dust collec- tor to pick up liquids and metal scrap including nails and filings. Metallic debris will contact the spinning impeller and could spark. The spark could then cause a sawdust explosion and severe fire hazard. Also, DO NOT pick up material which cannot safely pass through the impeller such as solid wood scraps.
2.DO NOT place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation for any reason including unclogging material and testing suc- tion. The impeller could cause serious dam- age to body parts if touched while spinning.
3.Suspended dust particles in conjunction with an ignition source may cause an explosion. 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 areas near pilot lights and/or open flames.
4.Problems concerned with any moving part(s) or accessories must be investigated and cor- rected with the power disconnected and after everything has come to a complete stop.
5.DO NOT allow steel to strike against steel which may produce a spark. Sparks can smol- der in wood dust for a long time before fire or flame is detected. If metal contacts metal dur- ing operation, immediately turn off the dust collector, unplug the power cord from the out- let or throw the disconnect and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove collection bags and empty the dust into an approved air tight metal container in case of spark and remedy the metal to metal contact problem before resuming operation.
6.When emptying dust from the collection bags, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust into an approved container and dispose of properly.
