Additional Safety for Dust Collectors
1.MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust collec- tor to pick up liquids and metal scraps, includ- ing, but not limited to, nails and filings. Also, do not pick up material which cannot safely pass through the impeller such as solid wood scraps.
2.KEEPING FINGERS SAFE. Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation. The moving impeller could cause serious damage to body parts if touched while spinning.
3.SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before servicing or working on the dust col- lector ducting system.
4.SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNI- TION SOURCES. Do not operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks would be high if dust were dispersed into the area. Areas of high risk include, but are not lim- ited to, areas near pilot lights and/or open flames.
5.DUST HAZARD. 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 of an allergic reaction. Always wear an approved respirator during and for a short time after machine operation!
6.AVOIDING FIRES. Do not allow steel to strike against
7.OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties perform- ing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our Tech Support or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.
8.CLEANING AIR. Do not confuse this dust collector with an air cleaner. This dust col- lector is only designed to collect dust from a machine, not clean dust suspended in the air.
9.EMPTYING DUST. When emptying dust from the collection bags or drum, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust into an approved container and dispose of properly.
Like all machines there is danger associ- ated with this dust collector. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the pos- sibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
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.
