Additional Safety Instructions For
The Dust Collector
1.THIS DUST COLLECTOR IS TO BE USED FOR WOOD DUST COLLECTION ONLY. Do not use this dust collector to pick up liq- uids and metal scrap including, but not lim- ited to, nails and filings. Metallic debris will contact the spinning impeller and could spark. The spark could then cause a saw- dust 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, but not limited to, unclogging material and testing suction. The impeller could cause serious damage to body parts if touched while spin- ning.
3.PROBLEMS CONCERNED WITH ANY MOVING PARTS or accessories must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected and after everything has come to a complete stop.
4.SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES IN CON- JUNCTION 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, but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights and/or open flames.
5.DO NOT ALLOW STEEL TO STRIKE AGAINST STEEL WHICH 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 col- lector, 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 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.
7.IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC- ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE INTENDED OPERATION, stop using the machine! Then contact our service depart- ment or ask a qualified expert how the oper- ation should be performed.
8.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 allergic reaction. Always wear an approved respira- tor!
No list of safety guidelines can be com- plete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
DO NOT use the dust collector for any other purpose besides collecting dust from con- nected woodworking machines. A dust col- lector should NEVER be used as an air cleaner. For safest use, wear a dust mask and use an air cleaner in addition to the dust collector.
