SAFETY

1.AVOIDING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Never operate the dust collector without the dust bags and ducting installed.

2.SAFE SERVICING: Always turn off and unplug the dust collector, and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before emptying the dust bags, moving the dust collector, or removing ducting.

3. KEEPING LIMBS CLEAR: Always keep hands and fingers and tools away from the dust collector suc- tion port.

4.PROTECTING BYSTANDERS: Never leave the dust collector running and unattended, or an uncon- trolled machine could suffer damage or injure bystanders.

5. USING DUST COLLECTOR SAFELY: Never use the dust collector to collect any other dust than wood dust, and never allow steel, stones, or hard material to be drawn into the dust collector and come in contact with the impeller, or the impeller can explode.

6.KEEPING MACHINE SAFE: Do Not modify this dust collector for any purpose other than what it is designed for or you may damage the machine, void warranty, and cause an unsafe condition.

7.TROUBLESHOOTING: If you are experiencing difficulties with dust collector setup or use, contact Woodstock Technical Support or ask a qualified expert for solutions.

8.REDUCING FIRE HAZARDS: Make sure the dust collector ducting is grounded against static elec- tricity buildup, and never use the dust collector in a wet or flammable environment.

9. AVOIDING LUNG CONTAMINATION: Always wear an approved respirator during dust collector use, the bag is not a safe substitute for a respirator.

10. SAFE WOODSHOP OPERATIONS: Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
