SAFETY
Additional Safety Instructions For Dust Collector
1.Do not use dust collector for anything except wood dust. Materials such as liquids, metal shav- ings, metal dust, screws, glass, plastic or rock can cause sparks when coming into contact with any part of the collection system.
2.Ground your dust collector along all plastic components. The connection of bare 12 ga. copper wire on all plastic hoses, fittings and blast gates to all machines will help reduce the occurrence of static build up and discharge.
3.Do not place your hands, lumber or tools near inlet opening while machine is running or con- nected to power.
4.Always wear a respirator and safety glasses when removing, emptying or replacing collection bags. Secure bags tightly to dust collector to avoid bags from “blowing off.”
5.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, the possibility of a allergic reaction and always wear an approved respirator.
6.If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.
7.Never use tools that are in poor condition. Inspect dust collector for bent fins, dents, ripped bags and unusual sounds before connecting machine to power and operating. Correct any problems before use.
8.Never allow steel to come into contact with impeller. Impact with any hard material may result in sparks which may cause fire. Be mindful of any situation that results in a risk of fire.
