2 Oneida Air Systems
System Start-Up Information
1. Install ductwork completely before operating collector
a. Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape.
b. Have Air Lock in place and sealed.
2. DO NOT operate Fan / Blower unless Fan Housing is attached to Cyclone body and Air Lock is in place. Air Lock and
Cyclone must be in place and sealed or motor will overheat!
3. DO NOT operate without lter in place. Fan blade can cause serious injury.
4. e Direct Drive Fan / Blower makes the system top heavy! Use extreme care when setting the unit up! It is recommended
that at least two people li the system up.
5. Check amperage draw on motor with all gates open. Current draw should not exceed maximum motor amperage as stated
on motor plate. (Oneida Air Systems is not responsible for damage to motors caused by improper installation, wiring or
failure to follow these directions).
6. is equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an
explosion.
7. To reduce the risk of Electric Shock, DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
8. Exhaust air should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
9. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts - unplug BEFORE servicing.
 WARNING 
 FIRE HAZARDS 
1. Wood shaping and cutting processes generate wood chips, shavings and dust. ese materials are considered combustible.
Air borne wood dust below 420 microns in size (0.17 of an inch) in certain concentration ranges when ignited can deagrate
(burn quickly). An ignition source such as a spark or ember can ignite a dust mixture resulting in an expanding ame
front, which can cause an explosion if tightly contained. A disturbance that raises a cloud of accumulated ne dust can raise
additional dust clouds, which can cause a series of explosions that can level an entire building. Until this type of re has been
witnessed, it is dicult to believe the devastation. is type of re is rare but worth safeguarding against.
2. e best way to avoid a wood shop re is to keep the shop clean. A shop ankle deep in dust with layers of ne dust
everywhere is an accident waiting to happen. A good dust collection system reduces overall re hazards but also adds new
concerns. A re hazard is still present. Combustible material is now in the dust collector and storage container.
3. e following points are worth heeding:
a. It is the buyer’s responsibility to follow all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, NFPA, or authorities having jurisdiction
codes and regulations when installing and operating this dust collector.
b. Fire Marshals may want the unit located outside of the building. If the collector is located inside the facility, controls
such as spark detection, suppression, or explosion venting may be required.
c. Most local jurisdictions consult or adopt NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) codes. However, other codes may
apply. Local codes may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Make sure to read and understand the installation and maintenance instructions as well as all
recommended safety practices.

System Start-Up Information (Continued)
d. NFPA664 Code book, “Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking
Facilities”, applies to woodworking operations that occupy areas of more than 5,000 sq. . or to areas where dust
producing equipment requires an aggregate dust collection ow rate of more than 1,500 cfm (cubic feet per minute).
is exempts some small operators from the NFPA code 664, but other codes may apply in your jurisdiction. Consult
your local Fire Marshal for help. Additional information can be found in NFPA Code Book 664.
4. e customer assumes the responsibility for contacting their insurance underwriter regarding specic application
requirements of explosion venting or if additional re protection and safety equipment may be required.
5. DO NOT use this product to collect other types of ammable dust or ammable vapors! - Fire or explosion may occur!
6. NEVER collect sparks from a bench grinder into a wood dust collector.
7. NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector.
8. Personnel should be kept at least 20 . away from unit.
9. Check dust bin frequently and before leaving the shop for smoldering material.
10. Keep portable re extinguishers handy.
a. e ABC type (dry chemical) is generally a good choice for small wood shops.
b. Additional information on portable extinguishers can be found in NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers).
11. Be especially careful with sanding units. ey can produce concentrations of dust in the combustible range. Make certain
enough air volume is at the suction point to capture all the particulate generated.
12. is high air volume will dilute the mixture below the lower limit of ammability. Be careful not to generate sparks into the
sanding dust.
13. Empty dust bin and clean lter oen, especially when sanding.
14. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders. Excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
15. Sparks can be generated in several ways:
a. High speed sanders and abrasive planers may strike foreign material.
b. Saws and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red-hot metal fragment.
c. Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks.
d. Trapped metal when drawn into the collector can spark against ductwork.
e. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red hot metal fragments.
16. Avoid using excessively large wood waste bins.
17. ALWAYS check storage bins for smoldering material before leaving for the day.
18. Electrically ground all equipment and ducting. Static sparks can ignite wood dust. (Avoid using PVC drain pipe.)
19. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of ne dust on horizontal surfaces (especially overhead lights, electrical boxes and
fuse panels which can ignite dust.)
20. UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING

Cleaning the Filter
Proper lter cleaning should not be neglected as a
dirty lter can signicantly aect your dust collector’s
performance and the overall lifespan of your lter.
e following steps should be done while the lter is
still attached to your system:
1. WEAR A DUST MASK AND EYE PROTECTION
WHILE CLEANING THE FILTER.
2. Turn o the dust collector and wait for the system’s fan
blower to come to a complete stop.
3. Use a hand-held, compressed air nozzle with a pressure
between 30 to 60 PSI to blast air along the lter’s exterior
pleating. Hold the air nozzle at a 20 degree angle and at
least 6” away from the lter; Closer blasts may damage
the lter material. Direct air out and away from anyone
in the area.
4. Wait a few minutes for dust to settle, then remove the
ne dust bin at the bottom of the lter.
5. Dispose of dust carefully and then reconnect the dust
bin.
Lubricating the Motor
Per Baldor’s specications, their 2-pole motors (3,600
RPM) are to be lubricated every 5,500 hours. Refer
to the Table below to determine if your motor’s
Lubrication Interval must be adjusted. For example,
a system operating in a moderately corrosive area
with an ambient temperature of 109° F (43° C) would
qualify as the “Severe” service condition, and should
instead be lubricated every 2,750 hours.
A right angled grease coupler will be needed for
this operation.
1. Motors can be greased while stopped, at less than 176° F
(80° C), or while running.
2. Clean the motor’s grease tting, or if equipped with
slotted grease screws, clean the area around the grease
hole. If the motor has a purge plug, remove it.
3. Apply grease gun to tting (or grease hole). Add 0.3
ounces (8.4 grams) of Mobil Polyrex grease by weight,
or 0.6 cu. in. (2 teaspoons) of Mobil Polyrex grease by
volume.
4. Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking
one minute or so to apply. Too much grease or injecting
grease too quickly can cause premature bearing failure.
5. Operate the motor for 20 minutes; Reinstall purge plug if
previously removed.
Caution: Keep grease clean. Mixing dissimilar grease is
not recommended.
