regulations when installing and operating this dust collector.
4. ENSURE that all users of this Dust Collector are informed of all warnings and precautions, safe use, and
maintenance procedures.
5. FULL mental alertness is required. NEVER operate under the inuence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or
when distracted.
6. DO NOT allow use by or near children.
7. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
8. NEVER leave the dust collector running while unattended.
9. TURN OFF and UNPLUG the dust collector BEFORE walking away, servicing, or cleaning. Allow the fan
blower motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before walking away or performing any maintenance, service,
cleaning, or adjustments. is eliminates the risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.
10. ENSURE that your dust collector is turned OFF and UNPLUGGED during installation. is eliminates the
risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.
11. ONLY use the dust collector for its intended purpose as described in this manual. DO NOT force it or
an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Consult this owner’s manual or reach out for
recommended accessories.
12. ENSURE enough air volume is at the suction point to capture all the particulate generated.
13. NEVER make modications without prior approval from Oneida Air Systems. Modifying the dust collector
or using it dierently than intended will void the warranty and may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that leads to serious personal injury or death!
14. DO NOT locate or operate the system in moist, wet, poorly lit, or cluttered environments. Operating in these
areas can create shock hazards, increase the risks of accidents and injury, and/or lower the operating lifespan
Before Purchasing or installing a dust collection system the process owners/operators
are cautioned to do so in accordance with prescribed Federal, State, Local, OSHA, NFPA,
and any other applicable codes or regulations relating to the type of dust(s) you are
collecting.
This manual contains specific precautionary statements relative to worker safety. Read
thoroughly and comply as directed. The most up to date safety information can be found

of the dust collector.
15. DO NOT install in classied hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application. System
Location must account for wind, seismic zone, and other load conditions. Codes may regulate acceptable
locations for installing dust collectors. Consult with the appropriate authorities having jurisdiction to ensure
compliance with all national and local codes regarding dust collector installation. Equipment must be
anchored in a manner consistent with local code requirements. Anchors must be sucient to support dead,
live, seismic, and other anticipated loads. Consult a qualied engineer for nal selection of anchorage.
16. ENSURE exhaust air is properly vented. It should NOT be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space
of a building. Personal injury, death, and/or property damage can result from material discharge during
venting. e risk of personal injury and/or property damage can be minimized or avoided by locating vented
equipment outside buildings and away from normally occupied areas. If exhaust air is vented outside, you
must provide make up / return air. Flue gases (carbon monoxide) can be drawn into the shop from furnaces,
water heaters, or other appliances
17. INSPECT and MAINTAIN REGULARLY. Keep the dust collector in proper working order. A machine that
isn’t properly maintained, not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, le outdoors, or dropped in
water could malfunction leading to serious personal injury or death!
18. AVOID CORD DAMAGE. DO NOT pull or carry by cord. DO NOT use cord as handle. DO NOT unplug
by pulling on cord. To unplug, grab the plug, DO NOT close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners. DO NOT run dust collector over cord. DO NOT handle cord/plug with wet hands. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.
19. ALWAYS check for damaged parts. A part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-
adjusted parts before operating machine.
20. DO NOT put any object in openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked.
21. ALWAYS wear a NIOSH approved respirator during operation. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other long-term respiratory damage
22. ALWAYS keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all parts of body AWAY from openings and moving parts.
23. ALWAYS wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery and
when emptying dust bin.
24. ALWAYS wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

System Start-Up Information (Continued)
1. THIS UNIT IS NOT RATED FOR USE IN COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS.
2. DO NOT operate the dust collector in areas where explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk include, but
are not limited to, areas near pilot lights, open ames, or other ignition sources.
3. ONLY operate dust collector in locations that include a re suppression system or have a re extinguisher
available nearby.
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).
4. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of ne dust on horizontal surfaces. Especially overhead lights,
electrical boxes and fuse panels which can ignite dust. Keep the oor around the system clean and free of
scrap material, oil, grease.
5. ENSURE all equipment and ductwork is electrically grounded.
6. ALWAYS consult an electrician or qualied service personnel about wiring practices and electrical codes
in your area. ONLY allow an electrician or qualied service personnel to do electrical installation or repair
work.
7. ALWAYS disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment. Improper wiring can cause
re, electrocution, injury, or death.
8. DO NOT use to pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
9. DO NOT use to pick up liquids, ammable liquids, or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas
where they may be present.
10. DO NOT use to pick up VOCs, acids, corrosives, or ammable fumes.
11. DO NOT use excessively large wood waste bins. Wood dust mixtures are highly ammable and can be
explosive
 FIRE HAZARDS 

System Start-Up Information (Continued)
12. ALWAYS check your dust bin for smoldering materials before leaving the shop.
13. NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector. Sparks can be generated in several
ways:
a. High speed sanders, abrasive planers, saws, and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red-hot
metal fragment.
b. Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks.
c. Trapped metal, when drawn into the dust collection system, can spark against ductwork.
d. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red-hot metal fragments.
14. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders, as excessive frictional heat can
spontaneously ignite dust. Sanders can produce concentrations of dust well into the combustible range.
15. ALWAYS check that all dust collection equipment is properly selected and sized for the intended use.
Authorities with jurisdiction should be consulted before installing to verify local codes and installation
procedures. In the absence of such codes, install collector according to the National Electric Code, NFPA No.
70-latest edition and NFPA 91, NFPA664 Code (NFPA 654 if combustible dust is present).
