DC/DCM100 to 330 Dust Collector - Instruction Manual & Parts
1. Make sure your dust collector is installed level, on a solid surface. Do not put it on a wood floor or
rubber without first giving a grounding.
2. For your dust collector DCM model, an electrical connection is required. Consult an electrician.
3. For dust collectors having the dust barrel option, make sure the barrel is placed under the dust collector
and securely connected to it.
4. For electric motors operating on 3 phases, ensure the rotation will be the same as that indicated by
the arrow red and black on the motor casing.
5. For dust collectors equipped with a muffler option you must install it directly to the air outlet of the
fan. Simply bolt it on the adapter. To ensure right air circulation, it is essential to keep 18 inches of
clearance in front of the air outlet of the muffler.

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the equipment is leveled and well grounded. Do not place on a wooden floor or a rubber mat, unless
a ground wire has been installed. Check with a qualified electrician.
2. If your dust collector is a “DC” model (without motor), please go to step 4 “DCM” models, with electric motor,
requires wiring. Check with a qualified electrician.
3. For 3 phases electric motor, make sure that the rotor’s direction is the same as the black and red arrow located
on the motor’s case.
4. For dust collector with the dust collecting drum option, make sure that the drum is properly located under the
dust collector and that it has been correctly secured to it.
5. Sound silencer (muffler) (optional) is to be installed directly to the air outlet on top of the dust collector. Use the
screws included with the silencer adaptor. To allow sufficient air circulation, be sure to have at least 18 inches
of room around air outlet or muffler.
6. The dust collector should be located on a leveled area near the back of the cabinet, at the right side. Attach one
end of the corrugated discharge hose to the outlet of the reclaimer (1) and the other end to the inlet located at
the bottom of the dust collector (2). Secure both ends with the supplied clamps.
7. Connect dust collector power supply cord to standard 120 Volts (DCM 100 model only) and 600 Volts ( DCM 160
/ 230 / 330 models

8. Connect to air supply
All electrical connections to the ISTblast equipment should be made by a qualied electrician and must adhere
to the codes, standards, and procedures specied by the authority having jurisdiction.
The customer is responsible for providing appropriate disconnecting means adjacent to the equipment for
each incoming power circuit.
1. For the rst two weeks of use, you should not shake the dust collector’s bags. This will allow the dust to
create a thin layer on the inside of the bag, increasing the ltering eciency. It also explains why new bags
may leak for the rst hours of use.
2. Bags cleaning
a. For DC 50 dust collector, shake the bags manually with the handle
on the side of the equipment (picture 1).
b. For DC/DCM 100, 160, 230, 330, you need an 80 psi maximum air
supply for the standard, push button, pneumatic dust bag shaker
of your equipment. Your air supply must be coupled to the air inlet
with a ¼ inch male coupling. Just press (more or less 10 times) the
button on the side of the service door (picture 2).

c. If your dust collector is equipped with the automatic shacker option (part number 601429) 120 volts or
(part number 601427) 600 volts, the action will occur automatically at motor’s shut down
2. Remove dust from the dust collector on a regular basis. Before opening
the door, make sure to have a container under the trap to collect the dust.
(picture 3)
If you are equipped with the dust drum option simply open the lid with the
ring’s lever (picture 4) and empty dust.
3. Never wash dust bags. If you have to clean them, use compressed air only, blowing from the outside to
the inside of the bag (the opposite would clog the bag’s pores an make it unusable). Replace torn bags as
needed. For replacement parts, see diagrams and parts lists at pages 11 to 18.
IMPORTANT : Bag’s shacking should never be done while the electric motor is
running. Always wait for complete stop of electric motor to avoid bag’s tearing.
