1.MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust col- lector to pick up liquids and metal scrap including, but not limited to, nails and filings. Also, do not pick up material which cannot safely pass through the impeller such as solid wood scraps.
2.KEEPING FINGERS SAFE. Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet dur- ing operation for any reason including, but not limited to, unclogging material and test- ing suction. The impeller could cause seri- ous damage to body parts if touched while spinning.
3.SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and allow impeller to come to a complete stop before servicing or working on the dust col- lector 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.
