Maintenance

NOTE: The infrared sensor on the dust collector has a 120° line-of-sight angle. See Figure 12. Outside of this angle, the remote control may not be effective.

Setting the Timer (1-Phase Models)

While the machine is running, press the TIME button to activate the timer. Each time the button is pressed and released, the run time is incremented on the digital display by one minute and can be set up to 99 minutes.

If the TIME button is pressed and held, the time will scroll up to 99 minutes, then start again at

00.Release the button when the desired set time is reached. The dust collector will run for the amount of time displayed on the digital display. If you scroll past 99 and release the button at 10, for example, the machine will run for ten minutes, not 110 minutes.

If the OFF button is pressed while machine is running with the timer engaged, the machine turns off and the timer is disengaged; i.e., when the machine is restarted, the timer must be reset.

Connecting the Dust Collector to a Machine

Use the proper type hose to connect the dust collector to the machine being operated. Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose. Contact your nearest Powermatic distributor for a full line of Dust Collector hoses and accessories. You can customize your installation and obtain maximum performance with dust hoods, hoses, clamps, fittings, and blast gates.

Never perform maintenance on this machine before turning it OFF and removing plug from power source. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Cleaning the Filter Bags

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 bags 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 machine from the power source.

2.Unhook the filter bag from the hanger. 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 Bags

1.Disconnect machine from the power source.

2.Remove the collector bag by pushing the ring of the collector bag upwards and pulling the bag out at an angle.

3.Empty the contents into an appropriate container.

4.Turn the bag inside-out and clean.

5.Turn the bag outside-in and insert into the housing.

Cleaning the Canister Filters

Clean the canister filters frequently to keep the collector's performance at its optimum. To clean the filter, turn the handle a couple of rotations so the dust falls into the clear plastic bag. Properly discard the plastic bag.

Motor

Make frequent inspections of the motor fan and blow out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum any accumulation of foreign material in order to maintain normal motor ventilation.
