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 dust drum in place and sealed.
2. DO NOT operate Fan / Blower unless Fan Housing is attached to Cyclone body and Dust Drum is in place. Dust Drum 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

Assembly Instructions
Push three Carriage Bolts (C9H) through the
inside wall of the fan housing section of the
molded cone. read the top hole of the Legs
(C8) over the bolt and secure with a 1/4" Flat
Washer (C9I) and 1/4" Whiz-Lock Nut (C9J).
Finger tighten. [FIG. 1]
Note: e top of the leg is indicated by a hole
located 3.5" from the end. e bolt’s square shank
must go through the round housing hole. For
ease of assembly, tighten the nut on the carriage
bolt without the washer - this will pull the square
shank through the round housing hole. Once the
carriage bolt is fed through the leg's hole, remove
the nut. Secure in place with the washer and nut.
1
Secure each Leg (C8) to the threaded inserts on
the lid using three 5/16" Flat Washers (C9L) and
three 5/16" x 2" Hex Head Bolts (C9K). [FIG.
2a] Secure Stem Casters (C9G) to the threaded
insert on the bottom of the legs. Finger tighten.
[FIG. 2b]
Note: For ease of assembly, we recommend
channel lock pliers to tighten the casters.
