Shop Preparation
DO NOT operate this air cleaner unit at a location where flammable fuels, solvents, or other vola- tile chemicals may exist. Since these products have a low flash point, the fan motor can ignite the fumes and cause an explosion and severe personal injury!
Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could cause serious personal injury to themselves. Lock all entrances to the shop when you are away and DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in your shop at any time!
Operating Location
Operating this air cleaner unit in the incorrect environment can cause an explosion or respira- tory damage to you and others. This air cleaner unit is only designed to help remove very fine wood particles from the air. It is not a dust collector, so take all necessary safety pre- cautions. The operating location must be free of volatile fumes from fuels, paints, pesticides, chemicals, smoke, and other gasses; including an environment free of silica, metal, asbestos, hazardous bacterium, and other particles.
Working Clearances
Make sure there is
Outlets
Make sure the electrical circuits have the capacity to handle the amperage requirements of the new air cleaner unit. Refer to Page 6 for more infor- mation. Electrical outlets should be located near the unit so power or extension cords are clear of
Site Planning
Site planning is an important step to maximize the effectiveness of the air filter. Air circulation must be thought out and all obstructions to the air path considered.
Think of air circulation in terms of the circular motion of the air before and after the air filter. The air exiting the filter is exhausted at a higher velocity than that entering it. Consequently, exhaust being vented inside a building can have an effect on the pattern of air circulation.
The user may choose to vent exhaust horizon- tally from the 12" vent, install a short section of metal ducting onto the vent to deflect exhaust upward. Air circulation patterns will vary depend- ing upon which method is used, and according to your specific shop setup.
Figure 1 shows an example of good air circula- tion where the user vents exhaust horizontally from the 12" exterior vent.
