GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery,
there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution
will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs,
featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best
guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise
caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels
safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine
not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any ques-
tions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to deter-
mine if it can or should be performed on the product.

INTRODUCTION
Model 50-870 Delta Air Cleaner is specifically designed to quietly circulate and filter non-metallic dust
which is generated throughout the work area. The Air Cleaner is furnished with two filters: a disposable
outer filter which filters out larger particles five microns in size; and the secondary filter will capture 91% of
dust particles of one micron in size (one micron = one millionth of a meter). Because breathing microscop-
ic particles can be a potential health hazard, filtering microscopic dust particles offers a cleaner and safer
environment. This Air Cleaner will filter the air in a room measuring 20’ x 20’ x 8’ either 26, 30, or 35 times
an hour, depending on your setting. If desired, multiple units can be used to filter larger areas. The Air
Cleaner is relatively maintenance free. An occasional cleaning and/or replacement of filters is the only
required maintenance.
UNPACKING
The Air Cleaner is shipped complete in one shipping container. Carefully unpack the Air Cleaner and all
loose items from the shipping container. WARNING: DO NOT LIFT THE AIR CLEANER BY POWER
CORD. Fig. 2A illustrates the contents of the container.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Determine whether the Air Cleaner will be used on the floor, on a bench, or hanging from overhead. If the Air
Cleaner will be used as a mobile unit, proceed to “USING THE AIR CLEANER ON A BENCH OR FLOOR
SURFACE” section. If ceiling mounting is desired, proceed to section “MOUNTING THE AIR CLEANER TO A
CEILING OR OVERHEAD SUPPORT.”
IMPORTANT: When determining where to mount the air cleaner, always select a location where the air flow
is unrestricted. Do not locate the unit in a corner or near any heating or cooling vents.
USING THE AIR CLEANER ON A BENCH OR
FLOOR SURFACE
1. Locate four (4) self-adhesive rubber feet (A) Fig. 3
supplied with the unit. Carefully place the air cleaner on
a firm supporting surface with access to the bottom of
the cabinet (Fig. 3). Apply a self-adhesive rubber foot (A)
Fig. 3 to the bottom at each corner of the air cleaner
cabinet. The rubber feet will help eliminate vibration and
will prevent the possibility of the air cleaner “walking”
across the work or floor surface.
For operator safety, clamp the unit to a work bench
or position it securely on sawhorses.

2. The air cleaner has convenient lifting handles located on both sides of the cabinet (A) Fig. 4. To avoid damage to
the air filters, carry the air cleaner with the filters positioned away from your body. CAUTION: This unit weighs 85
pounds.
