17.Use suitable pliers to bend a tab over the clamp nut (4) toward the housing. Crimp both the tabs flat in order to hold the rack
(3) and clamp to the strap. (See Figure 7.)
18.Install the filter hood (1) over the main housing (5) so that the hemmed bottom of the filter hood (containing the metal strap you just installed) fits between the two rolled ribs of the housing. Turn the filter hood so the strap clamp is centered at the back of the housing and the filter hood’s stripes are aligned with the legs’ stripes.
19.Tighten the retaining strap assembly se- curely with a large blade flathead screw- driver.
Note
Be sure you tighten the strap between the two ribs on the main housing. If the strap is tightened over a rib, the filter hood will loosen and blow off the Dust Collector.
Install Bag
20.To install the bag, open the bag (30) and position it under the main housing (5). Starting from the front, push the bag under the front clip (28) and take up the slack in the bag as you push the edge of the bag under each clip on both sides. The bag’s excess should be neatly folded at the back of the housing.
21.Install the plastic retaining strap assembly (29), but do not firmly clamp it yet.
22.Check around the circumference of the housing lip, and adjust the bag as needed to get a good fit. Remember to gather the excess to the back of the housing and fold it as flat as you can. When all is snug, engage the clamp on the plastic retaining strap.
Hook Up the Dust Collector
23.Plug the male socket trailing from the back of the housing into the female socket located on the leg. You will hear a “click” when they are properly seated.
24.Place the Dust Collector behind power equipment. Connect however many hoses you are going to be using to the
25.For each inlet you are not currently using, push an inlet plug (50) with a cap (51) into the open inlet.
26.Plug the Dust Collector into a wall socket. Refer to the section, “Electrical Require- ments.”
Using the Dust Collector
What NOT to Pick Up
The Dust Collector will help you keep a virtu- ally
When the Dust Collector is attached to wood- working equipment by the hoses, there is no occasion for large scraps to be sucked into the blower. However, when sweeping the floor and cleaning up, pick up large wood scraps before you use the dust collector.
Just remember that all materials “picked up” pass through the fan and fan housing. While the fan will not be damaged by small scraps which you may occasionally pick up, it is not advisable to make a practice of picking up larger scraps. They will be drawn into the fan and be struck at high velocity by the fan blades and flung against the fan housing with
