Important Safety Instructions
Read and understand all warnings and
operating instructions before using this equipment.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result
in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or
property damage.
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper
operating procedures are not followed. As with all
machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the
operation of the product. Using the machine with
respect and caution will considerably lessen the
possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury
to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as
guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards,
goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can
reduce your potential for injury. But even the best
guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness
or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise
caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels
dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative
procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal
safety is your responsibility.
This machine was designed for certain
applications only. We strongly recommend that this
machine not be modified and/or used for any
application other than that for which it was designed. If
you have any questions relative to a particular
application, do not use the machine until you have first
contacted the manufacturer to determine if it can or
should be performed on the product.
If you have any questions relative to its application do
not use the product until you have contacted the
manufacturer and we have advised you.
General Safety Rules
Failure to follow these rules may result in
serious personal injury.
For your own safety, read and understand the
instruction manual before operating the unit. Learn the
unit’s application and limitations as well as the specific
hazards peculiar to it.
1. Be sure that a shop foreman is present, and wear
your green card while working in the shop.
2. Approach your work with a safe attitude!
Focus. Concentrate on what you’re doing, and
don’t get distracted. Distraction causes injury.
• Be strong. No, this does not mean muscle
strength. It means the strength to do it right,
even when you are under time pressure.
Follow the safety procedures.
• Don’t rush. Take the time to do things
correctly and using the right guard or personal
protective equipment (PPE). Is saving a few
minutes worth a lifelong injury?
• Work responsibly. If you care about yourself
and your family, follow the safety procedures.
• Don’t gamble. A one-in-a-thousand risk is not
worth the possible cost. Do not play the odds.
Follow the safety procedures.
3. Give the work your undivided attention.
4. Wear safety glasses with side shields when the
shop is in operation, wherever you are working,
not just when you are using a machine yourself.
Glasses should be ANSI Z87.1 rated.
5. Protect your hearing. Hearing protection is
required in the CNC Shop area. However, it is a
good idea to use hearing protection anytime when
working in the shop. Consider using other
personal protective equipment (PPE), such as a

Safety | Air Cleaner Safety Rules

mask or respirator when working in dusty
conditions.
6. Do not wear anything that might be caught by a
machine. This includes rings, wristwatches, other
jewelry, loose-fitting clothing, long sleeves, and
gloves. Tie back long hair.
7. Do not wear open-toed shoes, sandals, or flip-flops
when working in the shop.
8. Ask for help. Unless you are sure that you know
what you are doing and can handle it yourself, ask
the foreman or another member for help.
9. Stand comfortably. Maintain a balanced stance at
all times so that you do not fall or lean against the
machine you are operating.
10. Maintain a 2-foot perimeter. Make sure you keep
people, obstructions, and any debris that might
impair traction at least 2 feet away from the
machine you are using.
11. Use the dust collector. If the machine you are
using has a dust collector, make sure it is on and
the blast gate for the machine is open before
starting.
12. Observe the 3-inch rule. Always keep your hands
and fingers 3 inches away from the blade of a
power saw, the bit of a drill press, the abrasive
medium of a sander and any other moving parts of
a woodworking machine.
13. Stay behind the blade. Never place your hands or
fingers directly in line with any blade where you
could cut them if you slipped.
14. If it’s broken, don’t use it. Replace all broken parts.
15. Tidy up after you set up. Clear the work area of
any wrenches, chuck keys or other adjustment
tools before turning on a machine.
16. Avoid surprises. Inspect your stock carefully for
knots, twists, nails, staples, other foreign material,
etc.
17. Wait until it starts. Do not start a machine with the
blade, bit, or abrasive medium in contact with your
workpiece. Wait until the machine is running at
normal operating speed.
18. Don’t force it. If you need to use excessive force
with any woodworking machine, something is
wrong. Stop and consult the shop foreman.
19. Wait until it stops. Never clear small pieces while
the blade, bit, or abrasive medium is moving. And
don’t leave a machine work area until the machine
is off and has come to a complete stop.
20. Unplug it. Always disconnect the power before
changing a blade or performing any other
maintenance operation.
21. Use the correct guard. Before using any power
tool, be sure all guards are in place and working
properly.
22. Clean up. When you are through with any machine
or hand tool, clean the work area with brush,
broom and dustpan or vacuum, and put away
whatever you took out. (Yes, this is a safety issue
as well as a courtesy.)
Air Cleaner Safety Rules
Do not use this unit to dissipate fumes or
smoke. Explosions or fire can result. This dust
collector is intended for use where only dry airborne
dust is present. Its use should be limited to non-
explosive, non-metallic atmospheres.
Failure to follow these rules may result in
serious personal injury.
Do not use this unit to filter metal dust.
Combining wood and metal dust can create an
explosion or fire hazard.
This unit is intended to filter non explosive
atmospheres only.
1. Do not operate this unit until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the
instructions. A unit incorrectly assembled can
cause injury.
2. Obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this unit. Knowledge

electrocution. Safely store power cord on the unit
to eliminate tripping hazards.
11. Turn the unit “off” and disconnect the unit from the
power source before installing or removing
accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups,
or when making repairs. An accidental start- up
can cause serious injury.
12. Turn the unit “off”, disconnect the unit from the
power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the area.
Power Connections
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire
and should be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse.
If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension
cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s
plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line,
make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and
be sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line
connections should make good contact. Running on
low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or
operate the machine in damp locations
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded while in
use to protect the operator from electric shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines: 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 machine 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 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
machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown
in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
In all cases, make certain that the
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
Noise Emission
Given that there exists a relationship between noise
level and exposure times, it is not precise enough to
determine the need for supplementary precautions.
The factors affecting the true level of exposure to
operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the
characteristics of working environment other sources
of dust and noise etc. For example, adjacent machines
in other words the level of ambient noise. It is possible
that exposure level limits will vary from country to
country.
Prop 65
Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products
can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to
the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling
wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for
personal protection. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood.
Save these instructions.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others

Set Up
3 Speed Ambient Air Cleaner with Electrostatic Filter is
specifically designed to quietly circulate and filter non-
metallic dust which is generated throughout the work
area. The Air Cleaner is furnished with two filters: an
outer filter which filters particles that are five microns
and larger, and a secondary disposable filter that
captures 91% of the dust particles that are one micron
and larger (one micron = one millionth of a meter).
Because breathing microscopic particles can be a
potential health hazard, filtering microscopic dust
particles offers a cleaner and safer environment. This
Air Cleaner will filter the air in a room measuring 20’ x
20’ x 8’ either 13, 16, or 18 times an hour, depending
on the setting. If desired, multiple units can be used to
filter larger areas. An occasional cleaning and/or
replacement of filters is the only required maintenance.
