DUST INTAKE HOSE TO MOTOR

AND BLOWER ASSEMBLY

Disconnect machine from power source before connecting or disconnecting an air intake hose to or from the blower and motor

assembly.

The dust collector is supplied with a 4" flexible dust intake hose. Place the intake cap holder (E) on the dust collector as shown in Fig. 17. NOTE: DO NOT COVER

THE INTAKE PORT WITH THE INTAKE CAP WHEN ATTACHING THE HOSE TO THE INTAKE PORT.

To assemble the dust collection hose to the motor and blower assembly, loosely attach hose clamp (A) Fig. 17, around one end of flexible hose (B) and assemble the hose to dust intake port (C). Tighten hose clamp (A) Fig. 18. Assemble the remaining clamp to the other end of the flexible hose and to the woodworking machine. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the dust collector without the flexible hose assembled to the dust intake port.

OPERATION

For operator safety, make certain the dust intake port is covered with the hose before operating the machine. The rotating fan inside the blower housing is accessible through the dust intake port and is hazardous. Make sure intake cap covers the intake port when hose is removed. Always wear proper apparel. Do not wear jewelry and keep fingers and all foreign objects out of the dust intake port. Always follow the safety rules of this manual.

STARTING AND STOPPING DUST COLLECTOR

Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging cord into outlet. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when unplugging

or plugging in the cord.

The on/off switch (A) Fig. 19 is located on the side of the motor. To turn the machine "ON", move the switch up to the "ON" position. To turn the machine "OFF", move the switch (A) down to the "OFF" position.

LOCKING SWITCH IN "OFF" POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent unauthorized use. To lock the machine, grasp the switch toggle (A) and pull it out of the switch (Fig. 20). With the switch toggle (A) removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the motor is running, the machine can be turned "OFF," but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle (A).

In the event of a power outage (such as a breaker or fuse trip), always move the switch to the “OFF” position until the main power is restored.
