SECTION 7: OPERATION

Test Run

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire operations process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a respira- tor when operating your dust collector. This machine circulates saw- dust which may cause allergic reactions or res- piratory problems.

Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there is a problem. The dust collector should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further.

If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help.

General

Operating your Model G0548 is simple and straightforward. Blast gates located at each of the machines controls the air flow from the wood- working machine to the dust collector. If a machine is not being used, keep the blast gate closed to maintain higher levels of efficiency throughout the system.

DO NOT use the dust collector for any other purpose besides collecting dust from connected woodworking machines. A dust collector should NEVER be used as an air cleaner. For safest use, wear a res- pirator and use an air cleaner in addition to the dust collector.
