GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MACHINES
Extreme caution should be used when operating all power tools. Know your power
tool, be familiar with its operation, read through the user manual and practice safe
usage procedures at all times.
ALWAYS read and understand the
user manual before operating the
machine.
CONNECT your machine ONLY to the
matched and specific power source.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses
respirators, hearing protection and
safety shoes, when operating your
machine.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or
jewelry when operating your machine.
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT is
important. Keep the area free of dust,
dirt and other debris in the immediate
vicinity of your machine.
BE ALERT! DO NOT use prescription
or other drugs that may affect your
ability or judgment to safely use your
machine.
DISCONNECT the power source when
changing drill bits, hollow chisels,
router bits, shaper heads, blades,
knives or making other adjustments or
repairs.
NEVER leave a tool unattended while it
is in operation.
NEVER reach over the table when the
tool is in operation.
ALWAYS keep blades, knives and bits
sharpened and properly aligned.
ALL OPERATIONS MUST BE
performed with the guards in place to
ensure safety.
ALWAYS use push sticks and feather
boards to safely feed your work through
the machine and clamp the work-piece
(when necessary) to prevent the work-
piece from any unexpected movement.
ALWAYS make sure that any tools used
for adjustments are removed before
operating the machine.
ALWAYS keep the bystanders safely
away while the machine is in operation.
NEVER attempt to remove jammed
cutoff pieces until the saw blade has
come to a full stop.

READ and follow all the instructions
and safety precautions in the user
manual before setup or use.
THIS DUST CYCLONE is designed for
wood dust only. It is not to be used for
other materials such as liquids or
metal scraps but not limited to, nails
and fillings. It is also not intended to
collect large pieces that will not pass
through the impeller
DO NOT place your hands or tools
near the open inlet while the dust
cyclone is running. Turn the machine
OFF to repair, service, or inspection
(such as clogging).
DO NOT operate the dust cyclone in
areas exposed to ignition sources
such as pilot lights or open flame
etc...Suspended particulates may be a
source of explosion.
ALWAYS wear personal protective
devices such as masks, respirators,
and safety glasses when emptying
dust from the collection bags. Proper
disposal method should be followed.
MAKE SURE the collection bags and
the canisters are securely fastened to
the collector body before every use.
METALLIC OBJECTS that strike the
impeller may produce a spark which can
smolder in wood dust for a long period
of time before fire or flame is detected.
While operating the dust cyclone, if
metal contacts metal, immediately turn
the switch to the OFF position and
unplug the cord from the outlet, allowing
the impeller to come to a complete stop.
Empty the dust into an approved air tight
metal container and remove all metal
objects from dust prior to resuming
operation.
CERTAIN WOODS maybe an irritant or
cause an allergic reaction. It is good to
know what type of wood dust you will be
exposed to, in case there is an allergic
reaction. Always wear approved
personal safety equipments.
ALWAYS turn OFF the dust cyclone
and disconnect power, allowing the
impeller to come to a complete stop
before servicing the dust cyclone or
connected system.
MAKE SURE you have read and
understood all the safety instructions in
the manual and you are familiar with
your dust cyclone, before operating it. If
you fail to do so, serious injury could
occur.

any part, check if the part is already
installed on the machine. Some of the
parts come assembled with the machine
because of shipping purposes.

PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX413 is equipped with a 220-volts, single
phase motor which features a 3-conductor
cord and a 3-prong grounded plug to fit a
grounded type receptacle. Do not remove
the grounding prong to fit it into a 2-pronged
outlet. Always check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt.
Make sure the cord is plugged into a
properly installed and grounded power
outlet.
To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
This machine is for use on a normal 220-
volt circuit and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the machine is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the
plug.
Figure-3 220-Volts outlet for CX413
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX413. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
If you really find it necessary to use an
extension cord, make sure the extension
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor
damage.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.

TEST RUN
Once you have assembled your machine
completely, it is now time for a test run to
make sure that the machine works properly
and is ready for operation.
All the tools and objects used for
assembling the machine should be
removed and cleared away during the test
run.
Plug the cord to the power outlet and turn
the machine ON. Test the ON, OFF and
Emergency Stop buttons make sure they
are working properly.
During the test run if there is any unusual
noise coming from the machine or the
machine vibrates excessively, shut off the
machine immediately and disconnect the
cord from the power source. Check all the
parts you have assembled, once again and
investigate to find out the problem.
WARNING!
Before turning on the machine, make
sure you have read and understood the
instructions given in the manual and you
are familiar with the functions and safety
features on this machine. Failure to do
so could result in serious injury to the
operator or damage to the machine.

13
MAINTENANCE
During the life of your machine, you will
need to practice some regular maintenance
to keep your machine in peak performance
condition.
Check your machine daily for:
Loose mounting bolts.
Damaged cord.
Worn switch.
Full collection bag / drum.
Any other unsafe condition.
EMPTYING THE
COLLECTION DRUM
You should empty the collection drum when
it is approximately 3/4 full. If the drum is full
and you continue to use the Cyclone, you
may have larger dust particles enter the
filter and damage the canister.
CLEANING THE CANISTER
The canister (#55) features a cleaning
handle (#62) which is used to clean the
canister filter. To clean the canister filter
simply move the handle back and forth and
the trapped dust particles will fall into the
collection bag.
Figure-16 Cleaning the canister
WARNING!
Make sure the machine is turned off and
the cord is disconnected from the power
source before servicing and
removing/replacing any components on
the machine.
WARNING!
Always wear proper dust mask or
respirator while emptying the collection
bag. The small dust particles flying into
the air while emptying the collection bag
can be easily inhaled and is extremely
unhealthy, causing serious long term
respiratory problems.
