Warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of
these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This dust collector is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a dust collector, do not use until proper training
and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this dust collector for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier
(Manufacturing) Inc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that
may result from that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this dust collector. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
7. Before operating this dust collector, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past
the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do not wear gloves.
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•Lead from lead based paint.
•Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face
or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.
12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the machine before turning it on.
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes,
use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
16. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine 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.
17. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
18. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
19. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

5
20. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
21. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
22. Do not use the dust collector for anything except wood dust. Materials such as liquids, metal shavings,
metal dust, screws, glass, plastic or rock can cause sparks and/or damage when coming into contact with
any part of the dust collector.
23. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
24. Maintain tools with care. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
25. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not
use your hands.
26. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
27. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
28. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
29. Never place hands near the inlet of the machine.
30. Always make certain machine is off and unplugged when making any connections to the inlet.

Base Unit Assembl
y
Base
1. Install four casters to the underside of the base as
pictured in Fig. 2.
Referring to Figure 1:
2. Thread the hex nut (B) onto the caster shaft. Then
slide the lock washer (A) over the caster shaft.
Thread the caster shaft into the threaded hole on
the underside of the base, turn until snug. Tighten
the nut (B) against the base with a 14mm wrench.
This will give the caster proper clearance.
Motor and Fan Assembly
Referring to Figure 2:
3. Place the base (C) with casters on the ground.
Attach the motor and fan assembly (A) to the base
using four each M8 x 16 hex cap screws, and M8
flat washers (B). Tighten with a 13mm wrench.
The dust collector must not be
connected to the power source during assembly.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury!
Referring to Figure 3:
4. Attach impeller cover (A) to impeller housing (D)
using eight M6 x 12 pan head screws (B). Press
the inlet ports (C) onto the inlet guard until it snaps
into place.
To reduce the risk of injury from
moving parts, always keep inlet port covered with
the caps provided, if they are not connected to a
hose. Failure to comply may result in serious
injury!
Connector Housing
5. Attach three support legs (A, Fig. 4) to the base
using six M8 x 16 hex cap bolts and six M8 flat
washers (B, Fig. 4). Hand-tighten only at this time.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Figure 4

10
6. Install the housing (A, Fig. 5) to two support
legs (B, Fig. 5) using four M8 x 16 hex cap bolts,
eight M8 flat washers, and four M8 hex nuts (C,
Fig. 5). Be sure hose opening faces fan housing.
Note: For filter bag models only – Before attaching
third support bracket place the hanger bracket (D,
Fig.5) between the support bracket and the
housing. This action is not necessary for canister
filter units.
7. Tighten all nuts and bolts at this time with a 13mm
wrench.
Hose
Referring to Figure 6:
8. Attach the hose (B) between the collector housing
(A) and the impeller housing (D) with two clamps
(C). Tighten the clamps to secure the hose.
This completes the Base Unit assembly. If you
purchased the DC-1100BK or DC-1100MK Dust
Collector (filter bag versions), continue on the
following page. If you purchased the DC-1100CK Dust
Collector (canister filter version), proceed to Canister
Kit Assembly section on page 12.
