RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as poten-
tial hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury that
may result from improper use of its equipment.
1. Do not operate the dust collector when tired, distract
ed, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any me-
dication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of
debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the
dust collector is in operation; do not permit them to
operate the dust collector.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all
machinery with locks, master electrical switches and
switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised
use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.
Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious
injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be haz-
ardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and
wear face, eye, ear, respiratory and body protection
devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, neck-
laces or other jewelry while the dust collector is in
operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Do not insert hands, fingers or any foreign objects into
ventilation inlet and outlet openings.
9. Do not operate this machine without either a filter bag
or filter cartridge properly installed on the unit.
10. Clean filters (bags on standard model or cartridges
on “CF” model) on a regular basis and replace as
needed.
11. Do not handle the electrical plug with wet hands.
12. Do not use this unit outdoors, on or near wet surfaces.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Sound Level
The sound level of this machine is rated at approximately 80 dB during operation. Make sure that adequate
hearing protection is used and that the overall sound level within the working environment is taken into
consideration.
13. Always turn on the dust collector before starting the
dust producing machine. Always turn off the dust pro-
ducing machine before turning off the dust collector.
14. Do not vacuum anything that is burning, smoking or
smoldering such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
15. Do not vacuum or use this dust collector near flamma-
ble or combustible liquids, gases, gasoline or other
fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil or solvent based paints,
natural gas, hydrogen or explosive dusts like coal
dust, magnesium dust, grain dust or gun powder.
16. Do not operate the unit until a dust hose is installed
onto the hose inlet.
17. Never leave the machine unattended while it is run-
ning or with the power on.
18. To avoid health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not
vacuum toxic material.
19. Use only recommended accessories. Use of acces-
sories NOT recommended by GENERAL® INTERNATIO-
NAL may result in a risk of injury or damage to the
machine.
20. Always disconnect the unit from the power source
before servicing, performing any maintenance or
repairs and when changing bags or hoses, or if the
machine will be left unattended.
21. Make sure that the switch is in the“OFF”position before
plugging in the power cord.
22. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped
with a 3-prong plug, it should be used with a three-
pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
23. Never stand or lean on machinery. Serious injury could
result if the tool is tipped over or if the cutting tool is unin-
tentionally contacted.
24. Do not use this dust collector for any purpose other
than its intended use. If used for other purposes, GENE-
RAL® INTERNATIONAL disclaims any real or implied
warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which
may result from that use.

ELECTRICAL RE UIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE-
SPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN
NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUAL-
IFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your
machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole recepta-
cle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short cir-
cuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The
motor of this machine is wired for 110V single phase
operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug Ato fit a grounded
type receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong
(grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall
socket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C,
it must be attached to the metal screw of the recepta-
cle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any dou ts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician efore
proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating
on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a quali-
fied electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse
blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a
circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
owever, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist
and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified
technician or our service department.
