1.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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
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.
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. The dust collector is intended for indoor use.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
outdoors or on wet surfaces.
23. Do not use this 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.

5
24. Do not use to pick up anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot
ashes.
25. Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in
areas where they may be present.
2 . Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a
handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run
dust collector over cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
27. Do not use this dust collector with a damaged
cord or plug. If the unit is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a
service center.
28. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
29. Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in
place.
30. Do not handle plug or machine with wet hands.
31. Do not put any objects into the openings. Do
not use with any opening blocked; keep free of
dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce
air flow.
32. Do not operate without hose connected to the
inlet. Place cap on unused inlet port.
Hazardous moving parts inside. Unplug before

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.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in off position.
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.
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 is
available or 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.

The stop button (B) remains engaged after being pushed. To restart dust collector, rotate stop button clockwise
to disengage.
Figure 15
6.2 Remote controller
The RF (radio frequency) remote controller operates on 2 AA batteries (included). The batteries will need
replacing periodically. The remote controller has an effective range up to approximately 50 feet (15 meters).
Press the + or – button to select desired timer setting: 2, 4, or 8 hours. The dust collector will stop
automatically at end of selected period. For continuous operation (no timer) select infinity ( 

 ) position.
Figure 16
6.2.1 Remote controller reset
If the remote controller begins to function improperly, it should be cleared and reset.
To clear the remote controller, press and hold reset button (C, Figure 1 ) for 3 seconds until receiver “beeps” 3
times.
To reset the controller:
1. Press reset button (C, Figure 1 ) for 1 second until receiver “beeps” once.
2. Press and hold “ON” button on the remote controller until receiver “beeps” twice. (If you are using multiple
remotes, perform step 2 on each remote before proceeding.)
3. Press and hold reset button (C) for 3 seconds until receiver “beeps” 3 times.
The remote controller is now ready.

17
6.3 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 Thermal overload reset
The switch box contains overload protection to help prevent damage to the motor. The relay will open the
circuit (shut off the dust collector) if the motor is drawing excessive current during extended periods of
operation.
If the overload is tripped, allow the machine to cool down for several minutes. Then press reset button (D,
Figure 15) and restart the dust collector.
7.2 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).
7.3 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.
7.4 Additional servicing
No lubrication is required for the dust collector.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
