hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
4. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to
accommodate a two prong receptacle, the adapter lug
must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the
third prong.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to

tool is tipped or if the fan blade is accidentally contacted.
20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function-check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.

Electrical Requirements
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.*
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks the one illustrated in Figure A
below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding plug as illustrated in Figure A below.
A temporary adapter, which locks like the adapter as illustrated in Figures B below, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.** The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter, must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

Operating Instructions
WARNING:
Electrical Connections All electrical connections must be
done by a qualified electrician. All adjustments or repairs
must be done with the dust collector disconnected from
the power source, unplugged. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury!
The #10-105/#10-105CF dust collectors are rated at
110/220V, Prewired 110V. Use a plug and outlet rated at
least 20 amps. The circuit for the machine should also be
protected by a minimum 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse.
Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines,
tools, lights, heaters, etc. at the same time will add to the
electrical load.
A dedicated circuit to the dust collector will give you the
best results since dust collectors are generally used at the
same time other tools are running. Turning the Machine
On & Off This machine is intended for indoor use only. All
Models Before hooking up to the power source, make
sure that the switch is in the off position
ON/OFF SWITCH
The model 10-105M1/10-105CF M1 Dust collector is
equipped with a simple “rocker style” On/Off switch
featuring a removable lock out safety key.
To prevent unauthorized use or unintentional start-up,
remove the safety key and store it in a safe place when-
ever the dust collector is not in use.
To start the dust collector, insert the safety key and pull
up the switch. To stop the machine, push down on the
power switch.
WARNING:
Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging in the power cord.
Remove the switch key whenever the dust collector is not
in use. Place it in a safe pace and out of the reach of
children.

from the power source before performing any maintenance.
This machine operates on 110V; if you suspect any electrical problems call a
qualified electrician to do the verification of the electrical circuit or the
machine If you need further help with your dust collector contact your
GENERAL distributor or our Technical Service Department at 1-888-664-
0449.
Cleaning the Filter Bag: 10-105.
CAUTION: Wearing a particle mask or respirator for protection
against fine dust particles during cleaning is highly recommended.
During first use and after cleaning, the filter bag may allow some dust to
escape. This is normal and will stop after a short period of time.
Clean both the filter and collector bags frequently to keep the collector's
performance at its optimum. To clean:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Unhook the filter bag from the hanger and shake the bag so that the
majority of the dust falls into the collector bag.
3. Loosen the retaining strap, and remove the filter bag from the housing.
4. Turn the bag inside out and clean.
5. Turn the bag outside in and re-attach to the housing using the retainer
strap to secure.
Removing the Collector Bag: #10-105/#10-105CF
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Remove the collector bag by pushing the ring of the collector bag
upwards and pulling the bag out at an angle.
3. Empty the contents into an appropriate container.
4. Turn the bag inside out and clean.
5. Turn the bag outside in and insert into the housing. To replace the
collector bag, refer to Collector Bag Installation on page 11. Use the proper
type hose to connect the dust collector to the machine being operated.
Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose. Contact your nearest
General distributor for the full line of General Dust Collector Hoses and
Accessories. Customize your installation and obtain maximum performance
with General dust hoods, hoses, clamps, fittings, and blast gates.
Cleaning the Filter: #10-105CK
WARNING Never perform maintenance on this machine
before turning switch off and removing plug from power source.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury! Clean both the canister
filter and collector bags frequently to keep the collector's
performance at its optimum. To clean the filter, turn the handle a
couple of rotations so the dust falls into the collection bag.
Removing the Collector Bag: #10-105CF
CAUTION: Wearing a particle mask or respirator for
protection against fine dust particles during cleaning is highly
recommended.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source outlet.
2. Remove the collector bag by pushing the ring of the collector bag
upwards at an angle and pulling the bag and snap ring out.
3. Empty the contents into an appropriate container. To replace the
collector bag, refer to the Collector Bag Installation on page 12.
Motor
Make frequent inspections of the motor fan and
blow out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum
any accumulation of foreign material in order to
maintain normal motor ventilation.
Connecting the Dust Collector to a Machine
Use the proper type hose to connect the dust collector to the
machine being operated. Dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this
purpose. Contact your nearest General distributor for the full line of
General Dust Collector Hoses and Accessories. Customize your
installation and obtain maximum performance with General dust
hoods, hoses, clamps, fittings, and blast gates.
Grounding the Dust Collection System
