Cleaning the Filter Bag - DC-1200BK and DC-1200-3BK

Wearing a particle mask or respirator for protection against fine dust particles during cleaning is highly recommended.

During first use and after cleaning, the filter bag may allow some dust to escape. This is normal and will stop after a short period of time.

Clean both the filter and collector bags frequently to keep the collector's performance at its optimum. To clean:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Unhook the filter bag from the hanger and shake the bag so that the majority of the dust falls into the collector bag.

3.Loosen the retaining strap, and remove the filter bag from the housing.

4.Turn the bag inside out and clean.

5.Turn the bag outside in and re-attach to the housing using the retainer strap to secure.

Removing the Collector Bag –

Connecting the Dust Collector to a Machine

Grounding the Dust Collection System

The dust collection system includes the dust collector and the hose, or ductwork you use to connect the tools. The dust collector is grounded though the ground wire in the cord. The hose or ductwork you use to connect the tool to the dust collector must also be grounded. To assist in grounding your system you can purchase the JET “Dust Collector Grounding Kit” stock # JW1053 through JET Distributors.
