WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate electric products in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while mounting or maintaining the air cleaner.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded products must be plugged into an
outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.
Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the product should be electrically
malfunction the grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user.
2. Double insulated products are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
4. Do not expose this product to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an electric product
will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the
Power Cord to carry the product or pull the Plug
from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged
Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and
use common sense when operating a power
product. Do not use a power product while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power
Switch is off before plugging in.
9. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. During installation use non-skid
safety shoes and ANSI approved safety goggles.

TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the correct product for your application.
The correct product will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
2. Do not use the power product if the Power
Switch does not turn it on or off. Any product
that cannot be controlled with the Power
Switch is dangerous and the switch must be
replaced.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the
power source before storing the tool.
4. Store idle products out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Products are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain products with care. Keep products
clean. Do not use a damaged product.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the operation. If
damaged, have it serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
products.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Product service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury and
void the warranty.
2. When servicing a product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Air
Cleaner System. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
the seller for a replacement.
2. Always wear safety impact eye goggles when
mounting or performing maintenance on the Air
Cleaner System. Using personal safety devices
reduce the risk for injury.
3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep
the work area well lit. Make sure there is
adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep
the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil,
trash, and other debris. Do not use in areas
near flammable chemicals, dust, and vapors. Do
not use in a damp or wet location.
4. If placing this AIR CLEANER on a table or
shelf, make sure that the machine is placed
securely on a flat, level surface, capable of
supporting the weight of the machine.
5. If attaching the Air Filtration System to a
ceiling, make sure the machine is attached
securely to joists capable of supporting the
weight of the machine.
6. Make sure the Switch is in the “Off” position
before plugging in the power cord.
7. Keep the Pre Filter (Part 1) and the Filter Bag
(Part 2) clean, in place, and in good working
order.

GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can
result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do
not modify the power cord plug provided with
the product. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the product if
the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged,
have it repaired by a service facility before use.
If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED PRODUCT: PRODUCTS WITH
THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Products marked with “Grounding as
required” have a three wire cord and three
prong grounding plug. The plug must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the
product should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See
Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in
the cord must be the only wire connected to
the product’s grounding system and must never

6
be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
3. Your product must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.
above)
EXTENSION CORDS
1. Grounded tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible
damage to the machine motor.
3. The smaller the gauge of wire, the greater
the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord.
4. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one product, add the name plate amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size.
5. If you are using an extension cord outdoors,
make sure it is acceptable for outdoor use.
6. Make sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good electrical condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord.
7. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
UNPAKCING
