Shop Preparation
DO NOT operate this air cleaner unit at a location where flammable fuels, solvents, or other volatile chemicals may exist. Since these products have a low flash point, the fan motor can ignite the fumes and cause an explosion and severe personal injury!
DO NOT allow untrained people in your shop! Make sure shop entrances are locked and machines are correctly turned off with
•Machine Mobility: This air cleaner unit has a balanced fan and uses digital components. Move this air cleaner unit with care, and do not drop or handle it roughly.
•Operating Location: Operating this air cleaner unit in the incorrect environment can cause an explosion or respiratory damage to you and others. This air cleaner unit is only designed to help remove very fine wood particles from the air. It is not a dust collector, so take all necessary safety precautions. The operating location must be free of volatile fumes from fuels, paints, pesticides, chemicals, smoke, and other gasses; including an environment free of silica, metal, asbestos, hazardous bacterium, and other particles.
Locate the air cleaner unit where the signal path for the remote control is unobstructed and is used within 75 feet of the control panel. Often, the optimum location for this air cleaner unit is at an overhead central shop location and not at the corners.
•Working Clearances: Consider your current and future shop needs with respect to the machinery and the dust collection system used. Make sure that the inlet and the outlet have at least 12" of clearance between obstructions as not to restrict the air flow. The suction must be farther than 3 feet from vents as the filter, if to close to vents, may draw and filter air that is not from your work area. You may have to create or modify other shop ducting to achieve the correct working clearances and airflow.
•Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits have the capacity to handle the amperage requirements of the new air cleaner unit. Refer to Page 7 for more information. Electrical outlets should be located near the unit so power or extension cords are clear of
Dust System
When used in conjunction with a dust collector system, the Model W1690 Deluxe Ceiling Mounted Air Cleaner efficiently removes most fine wood particles in the air that many dust collectors cannot.
USE the correct dust collection system in your shop. This air cleaner unit is not a dust collection system and CANNOT be modified as such. Ignoring this warning can result in short and long- term respiratory illness.
For additional information on the correct dust collection system, additions, or modifications; contact your Woodstock International dealer for a copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook and available accessories.
