SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The filtration housing contains a high speed fan that can amputate fingers, grab
loose clothing and neckties, propel dust and chips of wood at high velocities.
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL GUARDS AND PARTS IN PLACE.
Do not attempt to clean the extractor, remove the dust bags, or service the unit
when the power is ON. Turn the extractor OFF and disconnect the mains lead
from the power supply and allow the internal fan to come to a complete stop
prior to any adjustment, cleaning or maintenance.
Static shocks are common in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is
too low, The use of a humidifier in the work place will help raise the relative hu-
midity, and may reduce static shocks.
DO NOT vacuum, or use the dust collector near flammable or combustible liq-
uids, gases, petrol or any other fuels or liquids.
DO NOT vacuum anything that is burning, hot or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
Be aware what is likely to get sucked into the machine, avoid sucking up metal
objects such as nails etc. This extractor is designed for the sole purpose of ex-
tracting wood chippings or similar. Internal damage could occur if this rule is not
followed.
Use the extractor on a stable, level surface.
Position the vacuum hose and mains lead away from heavy traffic areas.
Do not use the extractor without the dust / filter bag and the chip bag in place.
Always ensure the mains supply matches what is written on the specification
plate of the dust extractor (or in this manual), and that the supply is correctly
earthed.
Use only the correct heavy duty bags when replacing the filter or the collection
bag.
CAUTION: Using this dust collector should help to keep airborne dust within ac-
ceptable limits, you must regularly monitor airborne dust and maintain your dust
collector accordingly to avoid exceeding these limits. Each application is
unique, your maintenance schedule must therefore be tailored to your specific
use of this dust extractor. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your dust collector works.
Do not uplift workshop floor debris if it contains stones, nails, screws etc, the ex-
tractor is only designed for wood and wood by-products.
Be aware that wood dust is an explosive medium. Do not allow any ‘naked’ light
source to occur anywhere near the machine, this includes cigarettes, matches,
etc, and do not place the extractor near any unprotected light bulbs, or other
Caution! If used incorrectly, woodworking machines can be dangerous;
for this reason always comply with the safety instructions mentioned in this
manual.
