1.0 Important Safety Instruction
When using an electrical appliance, basic
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS DUST COLLECTOR.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:
1. Read and understand entire owner’s manual
before attempting assembly or operation of
this dust collector.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual.
3. Replace 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, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and
holds itself harmless from any injury that may
result from that use.
. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shield while using this dust collector. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
7. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
8. Wear hearing protection (plugs or muffs)
during extended periods of operation.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains 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. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
12. Make certain the machine is properly
grounded. Connect to a properly grounded
outlet only. See Grounding instructions.
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 after
maintenance is complete.
1 . Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the machine, a guard or other part that is

5.0 Electrical connections
All electrical connections must
be done by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
Mains connection and any extension cords used
must comply with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the
information on the machine license plate. The dust
collector comes with a plug designed for use on a
circuit with a grounded outlet.
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 offer best results
since dust collectors are generally used while other
tools are running.
5.1 Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.

13
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this appliance. If
the appliance must be reconnected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel;
and after reconnection, the appliance should
comply with all local codes and ordinances.
6.0 Operations
6.1 Switches
Main power switch (Figure 15)
You can start the machine with the green ON
button. The red OFF button stops the machine.
Figure 15
6.2 Dust hose connection
Use proper type hose to connect dust collector to
machine(s) being operated. Dryer vent hose is not
acceptable for this purpose. Secure hose at both
ends with proper clamps.
If an inlet port is not being used, it should
remain capped. An open port will diminish the
machine’s efficiency, and may create a safety
hazard.
Contact your nearest JET distributor for a line of
Dust Collector hoses and accessories. You can
customize your installation and obtain maximum
performance with dust hoods, hoses, clamps,
fittings, and blast gates.
7.0 User-maintenance
Turn OFF dust collector and
remove plug from power source before
performing any adjustments or maintenance.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
7.1 Cleaning and bag inspection
Clean canister filter frequently to keep the
collector's performance at its optimum. To clean
filter, turn handle a couple of rotations so dust falls
into attached collection bag.
Empty or replace canister and drum collection bags
when full.
ATTENTION:
During the changing or cleaning of the filters it’s
necessary to use a mask (mask with filtration).
7.2 Motor inspection
Make frequent inspections of motor fan, and blow
out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum any
accumulation of foreign material to maintain normal
motor ventilation.
7.3 Additional servicing
No lubrication is required for the dust collector.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
