Additional Safety for Dust Collectors

1.MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust col- lector to pick up liquids and metal scrap including, but not limited to, nails and fil- ings. 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 during operation for any reason including, but not limited to, unclogging material and testing suction. The impeller could cause serious damage to body parts if touched while spinning.

3.SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and allow impeller to completely stop before servicing 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 or open flames.

5.EMPTYING DUST. When emptying dust from the collection bags or drum, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust into an approved container and dispose of properly.

6.AVOIDING FIRES. Do not allow steel to strike against impeller—this may produce a spark. Sparks can smolder in wood dust for a long time before fire or flame is detected. If metal contacts metal during operation, immediately turn off the dust collector, unplug the power cord from the outlet or flip the disconnect switch 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. Remedy the metal to metal contact prob- lem before resuming operation.

7.OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our Tech Support or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

8.DUST HAZARD. Be aware that certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to in case there is a possibility of an aller- gic reaction. Always wear an approved respirator during and for a short time after machine operation!

9.CLEANING AIR. Do not confuse this dust collector with an air cleaner. This dust col- lector is only designed to collect dust from a machine, not clean dust suspended in the air.

Like all machines there is danger associated with this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
