Additional Safety for Double Air Filters

1.This DOUBLE AIR FILTER is to be used for wood dust collection only. DO NOT use this machine to filter toxic fumes or paint spray. DO NOT use this machine to dissipate smoke or fumes.

2.Unplug machine before removing filter. Removing the filters exposes the fan blade, which may cause serious injury if contacted while the machine is connected to its power source.

3.Problems concerned with any moving parts or accessories must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected and after everything has come to a complete stop.

4.Suspended dust particles in con- junction with an ignition source, may cause an explosion. Do not operate this machine in areas where explosion risks would be high if dust were dispersed into the area. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights or open flames.

5.AVOID COLLECTING ANY MATERIAL THAT IS BURNING OR SMOKING, this includes matches, cigarettes, and hot ashes.

6.always operate the machine with the filter in place. When the filter is removed, the impeller is exposed to the unfil- tered opening.

7.When emptying dust from the col- lection bags, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust into an approved container and dispose of properly.

8.If at any time you are experienc- ing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service depart- ment or ask a qualified expert how the opera- tion should be performed.

9.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 in case there is a possibility of an allergic reaction. Always wear an ANSI approved respirator!

10.THIS MACHINE WILL NOT PROTECT AGAINST LEAD-PAINT DUST OR ASBESTOS FIBERS. These materials must be collected with special equipment because of the high hazard to human health. DO NOT attempt to collect these materials with this machine.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

Operations that gener- ate large amounts of any kind of dust may warrant the use of a respirator even though the air filter is running. The double air filter is not a substitute for a respirator!
