!WARNING: The dust collector must be grounded to protect the operator from electric shock. Not all outlets are properly grounded. Have your outlets checked by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

All grounded, cord connected tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper con- nection of the equipment-grounding conductor can re- sult in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insu- lation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding con- ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely under- stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tools' plug. Repair or replace any dam- aged or worn cord immediately.

As the three phase 230/460 volt motor does not have a plug, please carefully follow the rotation direction of impeller when connecting to the power source.

EXTENSION CORD

Use only a 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 1. Replace a damaged or worn cord immedi- ately. The use of an extension cord, if required, re- sults in a certain loss of power. The recommended wire gage is no. 10.

OPERATION

SWITCH

The switch box is an industrial type switch with stan- dard "start" and "stop" push buttons, and is attached to the impeller housing unit.

MOTOR

Motors used in a woodworking environment are con- stantly exposed to sawdust and wood chips. The operator should make frequent inspections of the mo- tor and remove, or vacuum, any accumulation of for- eign material in order to maintain normal motor venti- lation.

Remove dust from the motor with a low pressure air hose.

!CAUTION: The operator should follow all safety procedures regarding dust particles and always wear safety goggles and a filter mask during any cleaning operation.
