IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING –To reduce risk of injury:
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn the
tool’s application and limitations as well as the specific 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 rain. Keep work area well-lighted.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from
work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, or remove starter keys.
9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1). Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty.
13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hands
and frees both hands to operate tool.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing filters.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by
manufacturer may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
18. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in power cord.

19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the 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.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
22. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication.

DESCRIPTION
This powerful unit is perfect for the smaller home shop. Simply hang it from the ceiling plug it in and let
it do its thing. With the NEW auto dust sensor, the machine will automatically sense when there is dust
in the air and turn itself on. It also senses when the air is clean and will automatically turn itself off.
This NEW machine is so SMART it will clean the air in your shop without you even thinking about it.
This unit was the first in the industry with the SMART auto sensor, remote control, timer and three
speeds will quickly become the industry standard.
FEATURES
•The Patent pending SMART™Auto Dust Sensor will automatically turn the machine on and
off when it senses the dust levels in the air.
•Two-Filter System with Air Diffuser disperses outgoing air into a broader pattern
•Disposable Electrostatic Outer Filter attracts more dust particles than standard filters
•Inner Pocket Filter is removable for easy cleaning
•Folding Handle allow easy portability of unit
•Remote Control has built-in timer with a 1-12 hour settings; automatically shuts system off
at the end of the time setting
•Fully-Enclosed Ball Bearing Motor with Overload Protection for long, dependable service

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.

cause serious injury!
There are two (2) filters that need to be
cleaned/changed. The outer filter can easily be
removed by disengaging the spring clamp from the
top of the unit. (fig 3:). Now you can simply pull
the filters out.
Once removed from unit, the inner filter (Fig 4.)
can now be pulled out of the outer filter. Both
filters can be blown out with compressed air. The
filters should be replaced depending on the
amount of usage and the environment of your
shop.
Clogged filters will reduce the amount of air
circulation. There is an arrow indicating the air
flow direction on the outer filter. Make sure the
filter is inserted facing the proper direction.
