1. SOME DUST CREATED BY USING
POWER TOOLS CONTAINS CHEMICALS
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
2. READ this entire manual. LEARN how to use
the tool for its intended applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied
with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into

AF-1000C/AF-2000C
25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO
PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST
OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood
dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos
dust. Direct particles away from face and
body. Always operate tool in well ventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust extraction system wherever possible.
Exposure to dust may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury,
including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing dust, and
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on
your skin may promote absorption of harmful
material. Always use properly tting AS/NZS
approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure, and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. Use of extension cords should
be avoided where possible. When using an
extension cord, be sure to have a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw, and with compatible pin conguration
and connections. NEVER use an extension
cord rated at less than your machine.
Longer run extensions will need heavier
duty extension cords. Only connect your
extension cord or machine to a receptacle
that accepts your plug and never modify your
plug to suit a receptacle.
AIR FILTER SAFETY
INTENDED USE
This Air Filter is designed to assist the removal
of very ne dust particles from the air within an
enclosed workshop. They are not designed as a
primary dust collection device, (which is designed
to collect dust at the point it is created) and does
not supersede the need for proper PPE (personal
protective equipment) to prevent respiratory
damage from hazardous dust.
HAZARDOUS DUST
Dust created while using machinery may cause
cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory
damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated
with each work piece material, and always wear a
AS/NZS-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
DUST ALLERGIES
Dust from certain woods may cause an allergic
reaction in people and animals. Make sure you
know what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to in case there is a possibility of an allergic
reaction.
WEAR A RESPIRATOR
Fine dust that is too small to be caught in the lter
will be blown into the ambient air during operation.
Always wear a AS/NZS-approved respirator during
operation and for a short time after to reduce your
risk of permanent respiratory damage.

AF-1000C/AF-2000C
REGULAR CLEANING
Regularly check/empty the collection lters to
avoid the buildup of ne dust that can increase
the risk of re. Make sure to regularly clean the
surrounding area where the machine is operated–
excessive dust buildup on overhead lights,
heaters, electrical panels, or other heat sources
will increase the risk of re.
!
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is dierent. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.
AIR FILTER SAFETY
EMPTYING DUST
When emptying dust from the air lter, wear a
respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust away
from ignition sources and into an approved
container.
DISCONNECT POWER
SUPPLY
Turn the switch o, disconnect the dust collector
from the power supply, and allow the impeller
to come to a complete stop before leaving
the machine unattended or doing any service,
cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.
SUSPENDED DUST
PARTICLES AND IGNITION
SOURCES
Do not operate the air lter in areas where
explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk include,
but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights, open
ames, or other ignition sources.
FIRE SUPPRESSION
Only operate the air lter in locations that
contain a re suppression system or have a re
extinguisher nearby.
IMPELLER HAZARDS
Do not place your hands or tools into an open
cabinet during operation for any reason. The
suction could easily cause accidental contact with
the impeller, which will cause serious personal
injury or damage to the machine. Always keep
small animals and children away from open dust
collection inlets.
OPERATING LOCATION
To reduce respiratory exposure to ne dust, locate
permanently installed air lters away from the
working area. Do not operate the air lter in rainy
or wet locations. Exposure to water may create a
shock hazard or decrease the life of the machine.

FIG. BFIG. A
!
This tool must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock. IN THE
EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool may be equipped with an electric
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug MUST Be plugged
into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not t the electrical receptacle, have the
proper electrical receptacle installed by a
qualied electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in
risk of electric shock. The conductor with the
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes)
is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT
connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
or service personnel if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle
that accepts the tool’s plug. Replace a damaged
or worn cord immediately.
Power tools and machinery are intended for use
on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as
shown in FIGURE A that shows a 10 Amp 3-wire
electrical plug and corresponding electrical
receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If this particular tool has been designed and tted
with a two prong electrical plug, ensure it displays
the ‘Double Insulated’ logo shown in FIGURE B,
before connecting to a 3- wire receptacle.
!
Never modify the standard tted electrical
plugs to t your receptacle.

Fig. BB. GOOD AIR CIRCULATION
1. Place the air lter in a location that will
promote circular air motion as shown.
Fig. B
2. Try to mount the unit so that it will
be running in line with the natural air
currents within your workshop. The
natural air currents can be seen on a
bright sunny day, when there are a lot of
ne dust particles in the air. Mounting
the unit this way will increase eciency.
3. When an air lter is placed too close to
any obstructions, such as walls, much of
the room will be unltered as circulation
is diminished when the velocity of the air
is lost. There must be a clearance of at
least 1m from any obstructions in front
or at the back of the unit.
4. Multiple units can be installed in various
locations to improve this circulation.
