Electrical Connections Removing the Collector Bag

WARNING

All electrical connections￿ must be done by a

qualified electrician. All adjustments or

repairs must be done with the dust collector

disconnected from the power source,

unplugged. Failure to comply may result in

serious injury!

The DC-1200C dust collector is rated at 230V Only and is not supplied with a plug. Use a plug and outlet rated at least 20 amps. The circuit for the machine should also be protected by at least a 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a curcuit being used by other machines, tools, lights, heaters, etc. at the same time will add to the electrical load. A dedicated curcuit to the dust collector will give you the best results since dust collectors are generally used at the same time other tools are running.

Before hooking up to the power source, make sure that the switch is in the off position.

Turning the Machine On & Off

Before hooking up to the power source, make sure that the switch is in the off position.

The dust collector can be turned on by pressing the start button mounted next to the motor. Press the stop button to turn off the dust collector.
