System Start-Up Information
1. THIS UNIT IS NOT RATED FOR USE IN COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS.
2. is equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an
explosion.
3. To reduce the risk of Electric Shock, DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
4. Exhaust air should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
5. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts - unplug BEFORE servicing.
6. Use this equipment for dry material collection only. DO NOT use for liquid or gas vapor collection.
 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 (0.017 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. DO NOT use this product to collect ammable dust or ammable vapors! - Fire or explosion may occur!
4. NEVER collect sparks from a bench grinder into a wood dust collector.
5. NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector.
6. 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).
7. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders. Excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
8. 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. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red hot metal fragments.
9. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of ne dust on horizontal surfaces (especially overhead lights, electrical boxes and fuse
panels which can ignite dust.)
10. UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING
MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS ALL RECOMMENDED SAFETY PRACTICES.
