W1666, W1685 Dust Collectors

12.DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13.Allergic reaction to wood dust. 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 and the possibility of an allergic reaction. Always wear an approved respirator when operating this machine.

14.Use the correct tool. DO NOT force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

15.Wear proper apparel. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair away from moving parts.

16.Remove rags and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to remove all tools and make sure the area is clean.

17.Avoid using an extension cord. If you use an extension cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing the chance of a fire, or damage to the circuit. Always examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condi- tion. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord. And always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire.

18.Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

19.DO NOT leave the machine running and unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

20.Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instruc- tions in the manual.

21.Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights or open flames cre- ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. DO NOT operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those men- tioned above.

22.If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact Woodstock Technical Support or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

22.Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop, and safety will become second-nature to you.

24.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 and the possibility of an allergic reaction.

W1685, DUST COLLECTORS, W1666 specifications

Woodstock W1666 and W1685 dust collectors are essential tools for woodworking enthusiasts and professionals seeking to maintain a clean and safe workspace. Both models offer powerful dust collection capabilities while featuring unique characteristics that cater to different needs in the workshop.

The Woodstock W1666 is a 1.5 horsepower dust collector designed for small to medium-sized woodshops. One of its main features is a 1,200 CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow rating, which efficiently captures dust and debris from various woodworking machines. The unit is equipped with a 30-micron bag that effectively filters out larger particles, ensuring cleaner air in the shop. For improved filtration, users can upgrade to a 1-micron canister filter, which captures even the finer dust particles, enhancing indoor air quality.

Another notable characteristic of the W1666 is its portable design. It comes with a sturdy base and four wheels, enabling easy maneuverability throughout the workshop. The dust collector's compact size allows it to be placed in tight spaces without compromising its performance. Additionally, the clear plastic upper bag allows users to easily monitor the dust collection level, minimizing interruptions during work sessions.

On the other hand, the Woodstock W1685 dust collector is a more robust option, featuring a 1.75 horsepower motor capable of generating an impressive 1,300 CFM airflow. This makes it ideal for larger woodworking shops with multiple machines running simultaneously. Its 5-micron bag filter is standard, but users can also opt for a 1-micron canister filter for enhanced particle capture. The larger capacity of the collection bag reduces the frequency of emptying, allowing for extended uninterrupted operation.

Both models employ an easy-to-use snap-in bag system that simplifies the process of changing the collection bags. This user-friendly design minimizes downtime, enabling users to focus on their projects. Furthermore, both dust collectors come with dust ports available in various sizes, allowing for easy connections to numerous machines, from table saws to planers.

In conclusion, the Woodstock W1666 and W1685 dust collectors provide effective solutions for maintaining a clean and healthy woodworking environment. With their powerful motors, efficient filtration options, and convenient features, both models cater to various workshop sizes and needs, ensuring that woodworkers can concentrate on their craft without the distractions and dangers of dust accumulation.
